step up to the plate...

Ya know life doesnt always go the way we plan for it to. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and you can either choose to try and swing at it or watch it go by and strike out. As much as I want to sometimes, I cant just strike out, though thats the easy way out. I always want to do just what I can to get by, just enough to not fail, but to almost fail. I cant live like that. Because though i'm not failing right now, I am coming dangerously close and am more apt to fail in the future, since I come so close to it now. Life is an interesting thing, life is hard....really hard sometimes. But we never get anything we cant handle. Sometimes it feels like we are overloaded, but really it means God believes we are strong enough to handle whatever he throws our way. So next time you feel like life is being so unfair, step up to the plate, watch the curve ball come in, and hit it out of the park. Run around the bases as the crowd chantes your name. Slap hands with your family and friends that are waiting for you at home plate. You will know you did the right thing and it will pay off for the rest of your life...knowing that when you were faced with something hard...you took the chance and swung at the ball...instead of striking out.
