Every New Year is full of hope and promise. I usually renew my resolutions to lose weight, become more organized, and create more frequent blog posts. So far, I have not done much to get organized. It is the middle of February and I am still working on my “New Year’s” post. Instead of traditional goals, I will use one word for 2023 that helps me grow spiritually. I will persevere in 2023.
Philippians 3:14 is, “I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015
Everyday that I find a reason or excuse to not write brings me further away from my goal. To start, I write my thoughts down. God takes this effort and turns it into paragraphs that make sense. When I persevere and do the work the Lord has for me, He turns it out for His Glory. All I have to do is take the first step. God helps me to reach the finish line.
