Carry on? or Carry ON!


Four weeks ago I was sitting at the roadside, 45mins cycle from home and I had this question in my mind; Carry on? or Carry ON!

I'd just had some bad news that had really got me down. Also I'd visited some old friends who were having a tough time. And I had been to visit someone in hospital. And it had rained on me every cycle journey that day. And I had just fallen off my bike. And the keys in my pocket had made a large hole in my leg. I frustrated with life spiritually, and physically cut and bruised. And it was still raining!! Carry on?


I sat at the roadside thinking whether it was worth carrying on (I know this was a bit over dramatic, but it was how I felt). The things I thought about were my family and friends, that God has given me a job to do where i am and I want to see it through, that it is a blessing just to be alive and healthy,  , that I want to meet God one day knowing that I gave this life all I've got! Carry on!! 

So I did 'Carry ON!' and I got home with renewed determination, not weakened because of a bad day but strengthened because of it. A strange end to a difficult day.

The thing that reminded me of my bad day was this quote:

"When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you."(Unknown)
