If you are a Bible person or a Christian, you may think you already know what I’m going to talk about. Okay pal! I’m know about the ant’s wisdom in preparation and leadership, but this time we going to revisit the insect, so small yet full of wisdom.

The principle here is simple: have you seen an ant ever gathering food before, across your wall, or some place else? I’m sure you have. If you haven’t go check your kitchen, as neat as it is :) you will still find one “hunter ant” searching for food. If you have seen ants carrying food before, you would have notice that: the ant most of the time, if not all the time carries stuff bigger than it. Yeah! What are you waiting for? That’s the principle. ;)

When the knowledge dropped in me I realized something about us humans. Yes! You reading this script right now, I’m talking to you. So many times, in our lives we comes face to face with obstacles, trials, temptations, mountains bigger than us, however we want to describe it in other words. When these difficult times come what do we do? Do we blame God for allowing it to happen to you? Do you blame your father or mother? Do you blame your friends? Maybe your teacher even, for not teaching you well enough? Look face reality, things happen all the time, if you haven’t face a difficult time before, then maybe we should check the death records if you are dead (just kidding); but then what’s important is that we have to come out of it. Yeah so why did I bring the ant into all this at all?

That little creature faces the toughest challenge of its life trying to gather food, thinking of it how much do you suffer to bring food in? The food falls but the ant picks it up, putting the heavy stuff on its back once again, shifting it slightly, and changing its style. It never gives up! If it feels it can’t go on, if goes in for help, and a string of ants come and start breaking the stuff into bits. They never leave it there; they take it all in, little by little until they are done. As soon as they are done, they go searching for the next big pile.

I look at this little creature much bigger than we men, but its courage, strength, and not-giving up character is much bigger than our understanding. Hey! Doesn’t it just push you to move on? To go pass the so called THING that’s stopping you? Look at the mountain before you, my friend, you better start climbing it. You may think because you are single mother and moving in between jobs, you can’t take care of all those children. No! My mum, you can, like the ant piece by piece little by little, you can bring it all in. That difficult time you are facing can’t move if you don’t move it. If our friend, the ant doesn’t move the large chunk of stuff, it will never move. My father, my brother, my mother, my friend, my sister, start moving that load, walking over that mountain, and fighting back. Think about how to move on and MOVE! Stop staring at that load and fight on, it may seem difficult, a very heavy load, it may even fall, but like the ant, pick it up again and change how you carry it. If you can’t any longer, don’t give up, call me from your next door I will help you hull it in.

Little be little, piece by piece, you can hull it all in. You will be over that mountain. That difficult time will later turn to be a stepping stone for another person when you are telling it to another A moment you will smile over, because it made you stronger. Don’t give up! There’s more ahead! I have a saying that, “It’s never impossible; it’s just that you don’t know how-to, yet!” Now you know, take the principle from the ant, “HULL IT ALL IN!”
