We have all heard the saying "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it". What does that mean exactly? Well, it means that everyone has some problem(s) that they must traverse in order to get over them or "to the other side of the bridge" of the problem(s).

Left foot, Right foot. If you take one step at a time you CAN cross any bridge (problem(s)) that come before you. Some problem(s) seem to be as long as the bridge in the above picture. Believe me, this is a L O N G bridge.

If you wait until you have to make that crossing more than likely your problem(s) has gotten worse. By immediately taking the steps to take care of your problem(s) they won't seem so bad and you can work through them easier.

Yes, there are some problem(s) in life that are even longer than the bridge pictured above, I know this first hand. Have faith in yourself and have faith in God. You can do anything you put your mind to. I know it can be quite scarey, the problems we face. But putting them aside and waiting for them to go away on their own is just making matters worse.

BE BRAVE! BELIVE IN YOURSELF! BELIEVE IN GOD!

You CAN cross the bridge. If you don't know how ask a friend, family member or even your pastor. You can be guided in the right direction thus you will be starting to cross that bridge on your own; left foot, right foot. It may take a while to get over to the other side of that bridge, but you can and will do it.

Once you get to the other side of the bridge, wow what a feeling.  You did it!  In these hard economic times we all have some big bridges we are now having to learn how to cross.  These bridges are long and bumpy and have a lot of potholes in them.  Get together with neighbors or friends who are having the same difficulties.  If you have someone else whom you know who needs help then cross that bridge together.  We need to help each other right now and this is the only way this bumpy potholed bridge can be crossed. 

Pray, pray to God for guidance and for help.  He does answer our prayers and He is waiting for us.   'When more than one person gathers in my name I am there'.  God is there.  Wonderous things start to happen when we believe in God and ask Him for help and guidance.  He will help you over that bridge and around the potholes.
