It's the Climb

Patience
Self- control
Gentleness
Humility
It's all a climb, isn't it?
But, with every climb upwards comes a few slips backwards
So, it is with life
So,it is with the spiritual life
So, it is with our own discipline
For every time we head upwards
Some boulder comes our way to make us slip backwards
What is your boulder?
What is preventing you from heading upward?
