About Life with ADD

Struggles

Just when you think life is going OK
God presents you with a new set of challenges
Usually they test you in the areas in which you are most susceptible
Areas of trust, confidence, self-esteem and the like

Often we are up to the challenge
Even if we think we may not be
Or sometimes it is time to decide if this is the challenge we should face
or move on the a challenge more in line with what we really want.

The issue is in making these kinds of choices
on a day to day, sometimes hour to hour basis.
As life tests us every day we can choose to accept these challenges
and grow stronger
Or retreat, withdrawal and give up
to become weaker, more distant and less effective.

Each of us faces our own unique challenges and choices
and each of us must make our decisions for ourselves
It sometime helps to wait, think things over, get advice and reconsider
or even to contemplate, meditate, reflect and pray

But as we are challenged so we grow stronger, more knowledgeable
and effective
And as we run from growth and challenge we become weaker, less knowledgeable
and less effective

Given these choices-what shall we choose........
