Is It Worth Fighting For....

I should be asleep right now, but.....I can't.  I've got this one thought on my mind, one thought that plagues my body to the point where it is all I can think about.  Is it worth fighting for?  Tonight I had something happen, something I felt very strongly about was threatened by unseen circumstances.  Now the reason I am wrestling with the issue, is because it has the possibility of ending good or bad.  I don't know what is the best way to tackle it, how to strategically place my self, what the best move is, or if I should just stand still.

So tonight when faced with the obstacle, I came home for a very quick moment.  In those brief seconds I got down on my knees and whispered a very sincere prayer to the Lord, "Father, please help me to know thy will, what would thou have me do."  I then felt the confirmation of the Spirit, that I was to move forward with my actions, and not back down.  I felt inside as though, I needed to fight for that which I desired.  So I did, I can't see the end to my battle yet, but I will keep pushing ahead until it comes to its finish.

Why is it that almost always something stands in front of us and threatens that which we hold closest to our hearts.  Is it a test of our strength? Our patience?  Our love?  Or maybe it's always different.  I feel like sometimes when we are faced with this choice, we need not to fight, but to step back and calmly wait.  Then of course other times, where in order to earn the right to what we already have, we must fight, almost to prove ourselves.  I always tend to lean towards taking up arms and running into battle, but truly sometimes we need to walk away.  Luckily for me right now, I know that swinging my blade and loosing my arrows are the right actions to take.  So tomorrow I will armor up, sharpen my blade, tighten my bow, and firmly run into the battle field.  I will be ready to take a stand and fight for that which I want, and if I fall, then I fall.  But at least I went down fighting, to many times do people lay down and watch as something is taken from them.  But as  Ecclesiastes assures us, There is a time to fight.  So to answer my question of the soul tonight, yes. Today, it is worth fighting for.  Why?  Because what I want is not worth letting go of,  if someone else wants it, their going to have to force me down and take it from me.  Today, it is worth fighting for.  So....How Do I Sound?
