After a long 12 hour shift (i'm exaggerating it'll make sense later, i worked 12 hours but it wasn't that bad lol) at work I got myself all ready to go home. I bundled up because i had a little hike ahead of me. I started my walk home in the cold, wind kissing me on the cheek with it's cold lips! Legs cold, slippin and slidin down the hill, and finally i make it to my apt complex. I'm walking into my parking lot getting ready to go into the door of my building when I see this jeep spinning on ice trying to get out of the parking lot. Now mind you we just got a billion feet of snow and it's sub-zero cold outside lol So the ice was thick as was the snow. She got out of the car looking extrememely frustrated. Her face looked distressed and it hit me like man...i know how she feels because i was that person spinning the night before. I was tired, but i walked over there to see what i could do to help. She climbed back in her car and I got in front of her jeep and pushed.
Now that first push...whew lol i almost fell. And a part of me wanted to give up, my muscles screamed WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!! lol and I tried to talk sense into my muscles but they gave out on me. I looked at the girl in the car and she said, thank you as if my feeble attempt at help was good enough. Now don't get me wrong I tried hard, but i was ready to take my little positive i tried to help you self to bed, and in my head i was like well i tried! But something in me was not satisfied. I coached my muscles and i kept pushing, I told her to gun it and right when she did I pushed as hard as I could! We moved like 2 inches lol. Then i realized there was snow packed under all her tires so i went around and dug the tires out of the snow and then I told her to gun it again and i pushed with all my might! And Her car rolled a little further . At this point...I was like ok man i'm done! But i head it again "give it one extra push" So i got myself ready I looked at her and said gun it! she smiled and i pushed and the car got free! WHEW! lol I felt good out of breath and hot and cold at the same time lol. She was so happy she got out and asked me if i needed a ride, and i was like naw i'm good, she thanked me saying "i would have missed another day of school! thank you!"
So you're probably sayin' Mica what's the point????? Glad you asked :D There are probably people around you that you know, or don't know who are stuck and you see them. They're stuck trying to get out and all they need is an extra push. Maybe it's your husband/wife, sister/brother, child, friend, boss, coworker, waitress, whomever it is, they need your push to get unstuck. You might be tired because you're puttin' in work everyday and you'd be justified to go a take nap and rest...but you hear that voice (God) loud and clear saying Give that extra push. You might be tempted not to l;ike man Mica I have my own problems I[m not trying to push nothing! but it's soooooooooo rewarding! When the car did get free we both were excited (me mostly cause it was over lol) but the point is I celebrated her freedom. All of us have greatness in us, a super strength talent or gift that is the mark of who we are. And it's when we work in that strength that we help free others to work in theirs! I'm not trying to be super deep, i just want you to think! Who around you could use an extra push? Maybe it's you! PUSH YA SELF THEN! GET UNSTUCK AND BE FREE!!! :D lol And when you do, you'll free others! Maybe you're an encourager, push people with your power to encourage. Maybe you got money to spare make some small investments in people's lives! Maybe you're a cleaner you run a mean vacuum! lol help somebody else clean! Maybe you can structure, you structure organize and all that really well DO IT! Whatever your push is, use it to help those that are stuck, it won't go unrewarded! I wanna leave you with this quote, have a wonderful day!
Don't play small you were meant to shine! so shine on and when you do other people will shine too! love yall! stay warm! :D“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”-Marianne Williamson
