perseverance

My IF journey has not been an easy, but I must say that the Lord has been working on me through it. One things he has been teaching me is perseverance. Here is what the Lord been sharing with me.

We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God (Acts 14:22). This includes putting down our own personal goals for His goals. This has been extremely hard for me. My personal goal is to become a mommy. This has been in my heart for a very long time. I believe God does promise me that in the future, but for now he wants me to focus on Him and helping him in his kingdom. Has it been a breezed to go through? No. Have I been kicking and throwing tantrums? Yes (ok, not physically but mentally I have). But I have learned that the Lord is patient with me and has giving me grace to do it.

While go through perseverance the Lord has told me to keep my mind on these things:

1 Recalling the words spoken in the past to be about his promised he still has for me.
2 Don't forget how big God is.
3 Trust the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding but in all ways knowledge him and he will make your paths straight (Prov 3:5-6).
4 Keep in mind Rom 5:1-8
5 Remember the Lord's plan will ALWAYS stand firm forever(Psalm 33:11).

I been keeping track of my weight since I have been doing Zumba. I thought it would be a good idea if I made it into a ticker (I guess it is more for my benefit then you ladies would want to see).
