“You
must be willing to wait without giving up. After you have done what God wants
you to do, God will give you what He promised you.” Hebrews 10:36
I had
one significant misunderstanding about track and field until late into my
teens; I thought that a runner had to jump the hurdles without touching even
one. Imagine my surprise to see runners actually kick a hurdle or two over, yet
continue in the race. I thought there must be some sort of penalty. But no, you
could kick every hurdle down as long as you went over them all. Of course, it
slowed your whole race down quite a bit, so it made sense to leap across
without touching them.
