Backed Up Against a Wall, Spring Forward with Purpose!!

When you're backed up against a wall, don't cry because there is no where to go. It is time to spring forward with every bit of might that you have. I mean crouch down like you are in the starting blocks of the 100 meter dash at the Olympics and you are running for the gold! The funny thing about starting blocks is that you have to back into them. You squat down and step back into them to get on your mark. You raise up when you hear get set. And then at the sound of the gun, you take off by leaping forward with everything you have.

I chose to use the 100 meter dash rather than any other race because there is no time to waste. You can't sit back and set the pace and wait until you are almost at the end to give it all you have. You have to give it all you have from the sound of the gun because there is no time to waste. There is no time to check people out or see how you feel. You just have to run. There is no time to look around and see who is still in the race. You have to run like you are the only one on the track and you are running for your life.

When you are backed up against the wall, it is the same way. There is no time to contemplate whether you are going to stay against the wall. You just have to do what you have to do and get it done. You have to get on your mark, get set, and then GOOOOOOOO! Spring forward like it is a race for your very life because very often that is the case. Run, run, run! Push, push, push! Fight, fight, fight!

Stop whining, complaining, and DOOOOO something! Now and not later! My bishop left us with the following wisdom on this past Sunday. She said, "You will face a dilemma. Then you have to make a decision. Then you will experience your deliverance." I'm telling you being backed up against the wall is a dilemma, but it is one that can propel you into your destiny. You see, there is no going back. No place else to go, but forward. Spring forward!!!!

Springing forward with purpose,
