Back On the Path

My heart sunk My shoulders slumped. My determination deflated like a balloon. It was like being hit in the kidney by a heavyweight fighter with no warning. I was down for the count. I felt like giving up. I crawled into a ball, riving in pain on the ground until I fell asleep. In the morning I woke up to the pain that still gripped me. Despite the pain I got to my knees and prayed to my God, who is faithful to deliver me from all my woes. As I prayed my shoulders lifted, my heart rose, my deflated determination inflated, and God sent relief to my kidneys like a good medicine. I got back up, got back on the path, and kept on walking with Jesus as my guide.
