Poem
A 60 year old woman entered a marathon, she wanted to set a personal goal not to win it, but just to be in it going for her own gold but just after about 19 miles into the race she tripped and fell down she had broken her ankle bone and was laid out on the ground the paramedics told her, her race was now over but she would not hear of such she instructed them to put away that stretcher and give her a cane or give her a crutch she said my race is not over, if I can't run it, then I will walk her determination was her inspiration and she was not about to balk going for the gold was her only destination her vision, her goal, her sole consideration Our God is a God of faith and strength a God of progression not a God of failure or fear nor a God of regression for God will lift you up if you should ever fall or trip just make sure that with Him you have a personal relationship for God wants to be in the picture draw near to Him and He will reciprocate He can strengthen and transform you on a level that is intimate treat Him as you would treat a lover for He is more than just a friend He will always be by your side through thick and through thin have Him in your heart too for It's not only about intellectual perceptions let the Holy Spirit increase your faith be full of thanksgiving and open to God's receptions get your mind on the right track and let God work in your life use your past experiences to remind you of all that you have sacrificed It's alright to look back just don't live in it and then get mad utilize the power of memory and thank God for all that you have had So keep on keeping on know that God will lighten your way let nothing and no one paralyze nor limit you from obtaining your goals this day Yet even in the midst of discouragement that woman proceeded to accomplish her goals with faith in God and in herself determined and destined to go for the gold
