Barnacle Geese - frosty Morning by Dafila Scott- Mall Galleries |
Being surrounded by those with the same vision,
I’m spurred on to lighten my load of anything that would hold me back.
I am running this endurance race with my eyes firmly fixed on Jesus, confident that we will finish in style. Hebrews 12
I thank Sherri Seligson for thoughts on Barnacles. The bane of the sailor. Even the Queen Mary needs a scrub. But the nautical and sporting references point to the obvious practical truth that 'why not' make life easier and smoother by discarding all that holds me back? The racing cyclist will remove and throw their piton (or water bottle) into the crowd as they head towards the final straight.
PRAYER: Show me what is not necessary for this journey and I will throw it aside.
