(Rewind! This post is adapted from December 2017.)
How many times have you had something difficult to overcome and you kept going to God in prayer, hoping he would take it away or change it somehow? Frustration increased as it seemed like nothing was happening, and you began doubting your own faith?
In my life there have been plenty of times that I simply had to CLIMB over “it” (aka those “issues”) and through them. Often it seemed like there had to be blood, sweat and tears involved. (Okay… so maybe tears and night sweats but not blood so much, thank God.) , and yet I had to keep my focus to CLIMB. I’m sure you might resonate.
It is in those experiences that I believe we truly grow deeply and learn the most about ourselves. I feel that it is how we endure these challenges that reveals who we are and how much we can achieve in life. As you are planning your week, give some thought to anything that you have been hoping that God would take away or change. Perhaps your direction is to move up and over, or through it instead. (After all, what fun would taking it away be anyway? Haha)
I am praying for all of us to have the energy, resilience and peace of mind to overcome … to both CLIMB hard and with grace.
Have the very best week! Only a couple left in this crazy year!
