"You see things; and you say, "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?""
-George Shaw
I got the chance a few weeks ago to go to Wisconsin. It was beautiful!
This is me getting my "cultural experience" :D
As some of you know I have been working for the past oh 9 months or so stretching to be able to do the splits. Both kinds of splits. A little bit at a time every night or so I would push my self closer and closer to the floor. Some days I would go so far the night before that I had to take a few days off to allow my body time to adjust. A few weeks ago I finally reached the point where I could do the "normal" splits without stretching first. (I am still about 3 in from the floor with the Chinese splits).
Something else has been happening in my life the last few months that I realized this evening was a striking parallel to my "splits exercising". God has been stretching me. Little by little He has been molding me to His image. There have been days when I hurt so bad from the constant stretching, and He would give me a little time of bliss to rest before He added more pressure.
If I take a little time every day to quick do the splits it may be a long time before I lose the ability to do them. Likewise (even though God is never done teaching me) if I put into practice daily what He is teaching me now, He can use it for His glory and use the time we have to bring more things into my life that draw me closer to Him.

" 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore."
-Psalm 121
