It's DARE... One step at a time....

Quick thought on taking things in stride...

When you have a lot on your plate and your dreams are so BIG that you can easily get overwhelmed... just breathe, pray and take another step. The key to success, to arriving at your goal is perseverance and all perseverance is - is one step at a time. Taking one step at a time.

As I look back at my life I realize there where times where it was just perseverance alone that got me through. Excuse me, perseverance and the STRENGTH, & GRACE/MERCY OF GOD!!

Some of us are just wired differently. We will not rest until we check out all of our options and try at the dreams and visions we have or are given...

A lot is going on in my life. My brain is constantly working. I sometimes wonder if I am they only one within my inner circle thinking this much. With as much as I am trying to do and think of I realize the importance of discipline, organization, and to just slow down and take things in stride. It is not all about getting to the mark as fast as you can however, it is more crucial to get to the mark, period!!

So many have failed or fallen, or have gotten weary because they were so busy trying to get to the mark by a certain time and in doing so have worn themselves out. And yes others have gotten to their marks/ goals in record time but most are either too burned out to truly enjoy the race they just ran or once they have reached the end do not know what to do with the victory... hmm...

Anyway... Here are my scriptures of motivation and sources of strength...

Isaiah 40:28 "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom."

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

Hebrews 12:1-4 "... And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. ² We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. ³ Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up. ⁴ After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin."


Onward and upward... Peace.
