Stress-Fracture…
Bringing clarity and vision to an overwhelmed mind in business and in life…
The stress allowed the growth to multiple in strength…
It was my freshman year in college and a couple of months into the first semester, and I am walking in a boot. I was grateful to play a year of college football and the result of that was a stress fracture in my left foot. While in the moment it wasn’t the most pleasant event, I remember what the athletic trainer said to me, “Don’t worry usually the bone grows back stronger in the spot where the stress fracture happened.” That comment from the athletic trainer has lived freely in my mind and comes to my thought every now and then. I was happy to know that the bone would most likely grow back stronger even though I was sidelined for a few weeks. That one stress fracture would help me to better understand the circumstances that I will face along this journey.
Before I went to the trainer and had them look at my foot I spent a day trying to figure out why does my foot feel weird. I spent a whole day trying to figure out something I never studied to understand. Yes, I know my body and when it hurts, but I wasn’t trained to know what exactly is causing this discomfort. That was the same with my life in that I was walking around with this discomfort, this stress that I couldn’t pinpoint. I spent years running from here to there trying to figure out what is this internal stress that has overcome my body. I spent years trying to save my own life by peering around every corner only to find no permanent answer. I spent years trying to be my own trainer instead of seeking the trainer who already showed how to heal all stress.
“Then said Yahusha unto his Talmidiym (disciples): If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” (Mattithyahu (Matthew) 16:24-25)
It came to a point where I finally succumb to my own thoughtful mistakes. My thoughts going around in my head over and over again leading me to the same points in life, Frustration. I was leading myself into a life of endless stress and frustration by returning to the same starting line. I could no longer be that guy for me anymore, and it was becoming clear that whatever experiences or little success I had in life meant nothing. If I wasn’t able to sustain myself in all aspects of life it was time to change my thoughts to His thoughts and ways.
“But seek you first the Kingdom of Yahuah Elohiym, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Mattithyahu (Matthew) 6:33)
I was fractured in ways that I never thought was possible in my mind. But as I began to seek out His ways, His thoughts, His understanding it became clear that I was no longer in control. As I seeked out His Kingdom and righteousness I began to no longer seek my training. I was being led to the one that can heal all fractures once and for all.
It came to a point where I finally succumb to His Thoughts, His Way…The Way

“And Yahusha knew their thoughts, and said unto them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” (Mattithyahu (Matthew) 12:25)
