Look out!

Hey,
Yesterday I was sitting outside alone and thinking about things. At my house we have 2 gigantic oak trees, and a few weeks ago I made an unsuccessfully attempt to make a big branch fall out of a tree that fell and was caught by 2 other limbs. Anyways I was up there and my mom said
“Son get down from there. If you fall you are going to break your neck.”
And me being the Mr know it all I said back “nah mom its ok, im not going to fall.”     So she was trying to get me down for fifteen minutes before I finally gave up and got down. A few days later I went outside to be alone and think. I looked at the place where I was climbing on the tree, and noticed that I was about 100 feet in the air With out any safety gear!!!!! I thought to my self wow! what if i would of fell? I would be in the hospital right now! I was thinking to my self after that what are some things as an christian or individual that I am trying to take on? Am i standing firm on ground or am I 100 feet in the air valunerbale for a gust of wind to come and knock me down?
It was from that day on I learned to slow down, and to achially go down and look at how big the task is before I go and jump on it! Because when I was in the tree it only looked like I was ten feet in the air, but two days later when I was out sitting on the ground I noticed how high I achially was up in the air! So take time to slow down and look at the problems that you are facing! If you know they are too big for you to handle pray that GOD will help you finish them.

Thanks for reading!!
