Clinging on for Dear Life

Every Friday at the Gypsy Mama’s website we write for five minutes flat about a certain word, no editing, no back tracking, just write what ever comes to mind. The word for today is….Grit…

When we look at the past chapters of our lives we run across times  that we can not believe we have gone through or would ever want to go through in life again. Those times  when we feel as if we were over the edge of the steepest cliff  hanging on for dear life by the end of a rope, not with our  hands but with our teeth, clinging on for dear life. Our hands are full with stuff….our own stuff…. that we are to stubborn to let go off.

It’s in those times when the hardness of life creates little sand pebbles that wear away at the very core of our soul, creating discomfort and scars.  Scars of change, growth and maturity. It’s during these times when we show what we are made of….if we have true grit…..the toughness, strength and determination to let go of us…of our stuff… and cling to the Lord, no matter the cost. It’s when we learn that the letting go of us, and clinging to the Lord gives us the true grit, that way down deep inside strength to face whatever storms we may encounter.
