Fighting for the Gold

Fighting for the Gold

Ever felt like your ability to overcome is more than about your personal victory? As I sit and watch the Olympics I cant help but to sit in amazement as the performers are fighting for the Gold that will allow themselves, their families, their fans, their loved ones, and their country to celebrate. Their personal victory becomes a universal win! Now, of course most of us may never experience the opportunity to represent our country but if we sit back and observe our own journeys we do represent something greater than ourselves. As we fight the good fight we may notice an increase in pain, distress, heartache and trouble but I must remind us that this is strengthening us so that we may win the Gold! I know we hear the clichés that trials comes to make us strong and we grit in resentment at having to be pushed to our limit as if we haven’t proven the toughness of our skin already but I must remind us the greater the call the greater the fight. Most of us are in basic training for the ultimate battle that must be won. This battle will change the course of your family, your community, your church, your job, your nation, or even just the little girl watching you wanting to know if freedom is yet still available.

I was joking with my Monday night bible study class about my patient wait for my “Barack”.  Shortly after I was reminded by the spirit that Michelle did not meet “Barack” but due to the fruits of her labor she can now enjoy the “Barack” some us have grown to adore and love.  Moral: if we stay in the fight, the thing that looked shabby and bleak before will mold into the greatest blessing we have ever received. We must learn not to despise humble beginnings but embrace them with love and walk in them with integrity. 

Is it easy? No. Can we do it? Yes we can. Don’t be surprised when you experience enemies of all kinds. What victory do you know has been won without the interference of an adversary?! Spend much time in prayer and meditation so that you are aware when the adversary is present and you can receive your personalized divinely given way to respond. Do not take it personal…you are just a target as a result of the victory that lies within. Count it an honor as you hold the secret that will break many free as you learn to free yourself. Be patient with yourself…this is a journey, do not despise the process as it is all a part of your story. We have read many stories of women in personal battles and their journeys to triumph and one day someone will ready yours. For most of us its just the beginning, your story is still writing itself and as it blesses you with each page you turn know that one day your fight for the Gold will allow some other little girl to hold your medal high and say “We did it”!

I am fighting for my life as I rummage through my past, tip toe in my present, and run from my future. I shall fight without fear knowing I am justified and  qualified to be here, to stand here, to live here, to love here, to win right here where I stand! My enemy does not stand a chance! I am going for the Gold!

Until next time ladies,
