Susan Boyle Story

ARE WE FACING A STUMBLING BLOCK OR A STEPPING STONE?

Do we allow problems and obstacles to define how we feel and what we accomplish? Ever heard of a lady named Susan Boyles? Many defined her by her handicaps. At birth Susan's brain was without oxygen for 5 minutes. Her family refused to become specialist in her problems. Her mom and dad cared for her until their deaths. They focused beyond today's situations and problems. Years later, she heard about an audition 5 miles from her house. She got lost several times and ended up on 9 different buses. All through life people mocked and made fun of her. People called her ugly and mentally handicapped. People were cruel to her daily. Susan finally made it to her audition. Her parents never allowed her handicap to define her. At the audition she turned to the center stage and took the microphone. She started singing. Immediately the judges and the world took notice of SUSAN BOYLES. Her singing captivated the audience. Today Susan Boyles travels the world singing for sold out crowds. Why do we know Susan Boyles? Susan and her parents never allowed her problems and obstacles to define who she was! What things are we allowing to define our emotional, mental and spiritual condition? This pain, this trouble, this obstacle and this trial... we are facing just might be the opportunity of a stepping stone that with greater effort we might endure to find V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! My friend, press forward, never give up. This does not have to be a stumbling stone... This could be a STEPPING STONE... it all depends on your attitude and effort! WHAT MIGHT YOU DO IF YOU EXERTED A GREATER EFFORT?
