TANYA'S LIFE LESSON #5 LEARNED ON THE BACK OF A HARLEY - YOU ARE GOING TO GET BUTT HURT!!!

It's a given. If you travel very far at all you are going to get butt hurt!!You start your journey all excited and the first hundred or so miles go by easily. But by 300 miles you are really feeling the butt hurt. After 400 miles you don't believe you will make your goal of 500 miles that day. You can focus on your butt hurt and feel sorry for yourself because you are butt hurt. You can be angry and blame someone else because of your butt hurt. But you know what? That doesn't make the butt hurt go away! The more you focus on being butt hurt, the more unbearable it gets. And soon it becomes the only thing you notice and you miss the really cool stuff passing you by. Choosing to focus on the beauty and blessings around you tends to make the butt hurt less noticeable. Just keep your destination in mind; The short one (you can make it 30 more miles to the next little town!), the medium one (there's a hotel shower and bed waiting for me!), and the ultimate one (my grandbabies are just 3 more days away!). Taking a break from the butt hurt helps, but then get back on. Take another break, but keep on going. And when you get up the next morning, you get to start all over knowing butt hurt will happen again, but hopefully the joy of your journey will far outweigh the butt hurt!! What's waiting for you at the end of the trail? Don't let butt hurt keep you from finishing the race, and don't let the fear of butt hurt keep you from starting the race al all!! Jesus tells us that In this life we will have trouble (butt hurt!) but take heart, he has overcome the butt hurt!! And what He has waiting for us at the end of our ultimate road trip is way more awesome than any butt hurt we've endured along the way!
