Get Back Up
by B.C. Raines on 07/05/17
“Break his leg” were the instructions given by the opposing team’s coach in the movie, The Karate Kid. And his student tried with all his might to carry out those instructions to the fullest. His opponent, Dre, seemed down and out; it looked like that blow was the final one and the match would have to end. The opposing team thought that there was no way that their opponent, Dre, would bounce back from that one. You see there had been other blows to encourage this young competitor to quit the match and allow the opposing, more seasoned team, a win by default but Dre kept coming back even after advised by a medical professional and his coach to not do so. Dre insisted because he stated that he still had fear in him and he did not want to leave that arena with fear still in him. So win or lose, he would leave the fear in the arena when he finished that match.
Sisters, I don’t care what life throws at you, GET BACK UP! The more you get back up, the more it threatens the opposing team because they will not know what else to “break” to keep you from moving forward. The fear will shift from you to them as they panic to come up with a plan only to find that their arsenal is empty. But you’ll stand with confidence, knowing that because you got back up from all that has been thrown at you, you still have some weapons that you can use that your opponent knows absolutely nothing about and therefore, are not expecting. Sisters, Get Back Up after each punch, each blow, and each attempted break. As you get back up, you’ll find that you’re not broken but better--better equipped, better prepared and better situated for the journey ahead.
