It’s time to fly!

My family and I have just been on holiday – our longest (10 days) in over 10 years, and on my return turned on my computer and downloaded my emails. The first email I happened to read was sent by a friend of mine who has been through a particularly tough weight issue over the past couple of months. When I read the article that she had attached, I was inspired beyond belief.

It’s a simple story, yet full of hope, life and an inspiration for all people – no matter if their problems in life are weight related or heaviness of spirit.

This year I am going to be a BUMBLEBEE and make my own Honey – for myself – I am going to decide that I will defy all odds – even the ones that I heap upon myself (which actually seems to be more than what life seems to fling at us!). I am going to stop and smell the flowers, enjoy a rainshower, but most importantly…… I am going to FLY!

“The Bumblebee

By Anthony N. Wade

Did you know that according to a theory of aerodynamics that the bumblebee should be unable to fly? The bumblebee's size, weight, and shape of its body, in relationship to its total wing span, flying is technically impossible. The bumblebee, being ignorant of the technical theory, goes on and flies anyway and makes honey everyday.

You and I need to take a few lessons from the bumblebee. First of all, if the bumblebee were to look at its size, it would say "My body is too big for my wings, for that reason I am not able to fly." If it looked at its weight, it would say, "I'm too heavy, it is impossible for my wings to create enough lift for me to do the job I was created to do." If it looked at the contour of its body it would say "Forget it, it is scientifically impossible for me to do this."

My friend, the bumblebee is totally unaware of the impossibilities that say it can't do what it does, day after day. It goes against all the odds that say, "You should be a failure."  "Look at you; aren't you a pitiful looking thing? You are overweight, your body is in pathetic shape; and you have the nerve to think you are going to fly." Who do you think you are a bumblebee? This kind of view never comes across the mind of a bumblebee. It doesn't know it's not supposed to fly.

Now, what's your excuse? Who or what is screaming at you that you can't possibly do what you desire to do? When are you going to look them in the face and say, "Watch me!" "I will overcome these odds, I believe I can fly." I don't care who or what is telling you that you can't, with God all things are possible.

Its time to make man's impossibility, God's possibility.
