I just wanted to send out some encouragement to everyone. It is hard to keep up with our good intentions from the first day of an activity, whatever it is. It is hard to stick with reading the bible everyday, doing all parts of our bible studies, sometimes even just getting out of bed in the morning. I know we can do it, though. God will help us through.
I was walking through my kitchen and a favorite "life reminder" someone gave me is a picture of a dragon using a lance as his toothpick. It says, "No matter how hard you fight, no matter how right you are . . . sometimes the dragon wins." I realized while that may be true and a good reminder that life won't always go the way I want it to, God will always triumph over all things and that is comforting.
Have a great day everyone!
"You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!" Psalm 30:11-12
Thanks for the encouragement Emily! I got behind on my reading on my recent trip a couple weeks ago, and I'm trying to catch up. It's tough getting the reading done each night in addition to other things but I really really want to get through the whole bible this year! Appreciate the motivational thoughts!
