" Learn to Embrace the Benefits Instead of Resisting the Hardships. " Lysa Terkeurst
I just love this saying and I have been using it a lot since I read it! Amazing day I had today on a snow shoe-ing hike I took to the back fields here behind my house. I need to say that a few times as I fought through the depths of that snow and my snow shoes were coming off behind my heels I was unsure I would get there. I mastered it though. I set my goal for the back tree sanctuary that I love to sit in and just relax.
A couple times I did not know if my first adventure out to snow shoe this year was going get me all the way to my desired destination. I stopped a number of times as my heartbeat was racing and pounding in my temples. I prayed and hiked on until I had to stop again. I "embraced the benefits of the work out and resisted the hardships" and kept moving forward. I reached my goal!
I need to continue to embrace the benefits instead of resisting the hardships in my daily struggles to keep my focus and reach for the goals I have, and will have, in Christ Jesus. On to the rewards of seeking my Savior and finding him in it all.
I am doing as The Lord God Almighty says , Giving careful thought to my ways. Haggai 1:7
I have circled this mountain of depression and loss,fear and anxiety, along with discontent, grief and escapism long enough. Now with Gods help and the sound of his calling: I am Heading North . Deuteronomy 2:3
Thank you Lord Jesus, for the blessings of your calling on our lives. Thank you that you go with us and lead us. You never leave us or forsake us and you cover us before and behind and encircle us all about. Thank you Jesus. Amen
