Rise, and rise again. Until lambs become lions

YIKES! its been 24 days since my last post. I'm BAD! things have been so intensely busy.. it's not even funny. with 2 jobs I put in over 70 hours of work a week. crazy eh? woah! these past 3 weeks have just flown right by me. I've been in the forest, at church, at the clinic, movies, parks, bbqs, lakes, birthday parties, pubs (don't judge me!), restaurants, coffee shops, shopping malls, different houses of people I love, boating.. it's been a blast! I recently saw Robin Hood (side note: AWESOME movie, despite the critics, it was sick) and the tag line was 'rise, and rise again.. till lambs become lions.' it really really stuck with me.. for so many reasons. I guess it really means never give up. but it is such a profound way of saying it... because lambs will never become lions. but we are to rise, and rise yet again. there is so much going on in my life right now, areas that I feel like giving up on. turning my back because of discouragement in failed past attempts.

Jesus said He was the way, the truth, and the light.
interesting that the truth sets you free.. to the way.. and you walk the way, in light. if you subtract one of those things from the equation, it is no longer valid. you cannot substitute, add, or subtract to that... or to the word of God for that matter. either you are-- or you aren't.

either you stand strong and firm in your faith, or you do not stand at all. I read that in Isaiah chapter 40 last week. pretty legit...

sometimes I feel like giving up is easier than trying.
then I am reminded that Jesus died trying.

so I will rise,
and rise again.
Till lambs become lions.
