I Am the World’s Greatest Miracle

I am the world’s greatest miracle.

And yet, this week, I find myself in a ditch—stuck in the mud, much like the donkey in Luke 14:5. I can see the road, I know where I want to go, but I feel weighed down and unable to move forward at full strength.

The truth is, I have too much on my plate.

I’m being pulled in multiple directions within my business. I’m supporting two different teams, both on important runs. One is a 33-day run leading up to the national convention.

The other is a 90-day run focused on building long-term momentum. The messaging is slightly different, but the mission is the same: to get our product into the hands of the people who need it most.

Still, I feel torn.

I feel guilty because I know I’m not operating at my best. I know there’s more in me. I know I can do better.

As the observer this week, I can clearly see what’s happening. The old blueprint is creeping back in—pulling me into overwhelm, distraction, and reaction instead of intention. I catch myself watching the clock instead of following my compass.

That awareness, however, is a gift.

It reminds me that I don’t need to do more—I need to focus better. I need to return to the basics. Quiet time. Clarity. Purpose. The main thing.

Because when I am centered, I am effective.
When I am focused, I move forward.
And when I align with my purpose, I get out of the ditch.

This week, I choose to pause, reflect, and reset.

I am the world’s greatest miracle—and miracles don’t stay stuck for long.

Peace,
Larry Russell
