A balance beam is straight and narrow. To some it seams impossible to be able to walk or even jump on it without falling off. But it is those times that we do fall that helps us to get back on and become stronger because of it. Just how long does it take to get comfortable to walk on a balance beam...? It is up to us on how much time we put into it.
For some, they can pick it up quickly. For others it takes a lot longer to learn how to trust our self and keep our eye single to our goal of getting to the end.
For a lot of us its the leap at the end that gets us nervous. Nervous of falling, nervous of not making the perfect landing and the judges giving us a bad score. Once we have made it to the end, we have to take that leap, a leap of faith.
Luckily for us we have a very loving judge, spotter, and coach. He is always there to catch us when we fall. To give us the encouragement if we feel that we cant make it to the end. He judges us by the time we put into learning and how much we get back up and on the beam. Not how well we do but how much we grow ourselves.
Then He is at the end to help us make that leap. After all we have done to get to that point, He is waiting for us to jump and make that landing. To get that firm foundation underneath our feet. He can then show us even more only because we have taken that leap of faith and proven to ourselves that we can hold strong.
