obstacles

Those whose eyes twenty-five and more years before had seen "the glory of the coming of the Lord," saw in every present hindrance or help a dark fatalism bound to bring all things right in His own good time. The mass of those to whom slavery was a dim recollection of childhood found the world a puzzling thing: it asked little of them, and they answered with little, and yet it ridiculed their offering. Such a paradox they could not understand, and therefore sank into listless indifference, or shiftlessness, or reckless bravado. There were, however, some__uch as Josie, Jim, and Ben__o whom War, Hell, and Slavery were but childhood tales, whose young appetites had been whetted to an edge by school and story and half-awakened thought. Ill could they be content, born without and beyond the World. And their weak wings beat against their barriers,__arriers of caste, of youth, of life; at last, in dangerous moments, against everything that opposed even a whim.

These and other inanimate things she saw and experienced. They were real to her. She knew them. They were the codes and touchstones of the world, capable of translation and possession.

And owning them made her part of the world, and the world a part of her.

Be strong and courageous. Fear not! God will grant you the strength to overcome any adversity.

School is the worst choice, it teach us that we can focus on a lot of stuff at first view it's like preparing to work hard as a villager use to do or somebody else with such type hard work. From other it's selfish and from last it's full of obstacles...

Ignorance is avoiding that which stands in front of me out of the misplaced hope that it will put what I__ ignoring behind me. Instead, it__ most certain to drop it on top of me.

We may run into many downfalls in life, but with a mighty God on our side those downfalls have already been defeated.

It is very much, she thinks, like looking at the moon and knowing one could make it there, too. It is only time and breath that stand between her and the top. She is young. She'll do it and have done it.

You have travel too far to quit, may the grace of faith, keep you going in the forward motion to reach the ultimate goal.

Hang on! Don__ give up.
