day 19 - breathe in and breathe out

i think lately i have been conditioned to view my life as this roller coaster ride, even though i am deathly afraid of them. i have been conditioned to think that i will inevitably fail at one point or another... true, but in that notion the question is asked then, "why even try?" i look at my life and see that defeat has been conditioned by satan for me to think in a way where God can't do anything. Sin is too powerful. have i really fought? have i even battled? have i just raised the white flag even before the fighting has started? i choose to fight for my life! no more mediocrity and lame excuses. i want to live a life that is holy and pleasing to God. i truly do. but to look at the end is not the execution to take. but rather to take it one day at a time. breathe in and breathe out..... God is there and will always be there. He can CONQUER it all! today's picture is a game of basketball. brothers in the ministry together enjoying friendly game of basketball. love these guys and their competitiveness.
