The Collapse Before The Finish Line

The collapse before the finish line……

do you know what I’m talking about?

Those runners who begin a strenuous marathon….at first the momentum is strong. The adrenaline is pumped, they are excited, they are waving to people!

Then, towards the middle the smile turns into a smirk, the pace has become slowed, they are focusing on their breathing, one step at a time….

Towards the end, they see the actual finish line.

That’s when the tears come, all of sudden they become so weak though they are so close! So close! The finish line is right there!

And then they either finish strong through the grace of God or who knows ..or they collapse…….

……

….

……..

……

……

But what happens then…….

Support comes. Family, friends, even strangers carry that runner to the finish line. They cross together. Celebrating strength, growth, perseverance, determination, courage, bravery……

There are people who are collapsing right now. They need your help. They are so close to that finish line but they cannot do it without your help.

There are so many ways we can encourage, support, and lift others. And the smallest ways believe it or not are the most powerful.

Be that person. And let others CARRY YOU TOO.

You have to let others carry you too!

Love and light my friends. We got this!
