Working Through…

We’re all working through things.

…Things we don’t want, circumstances, personal stuff, family dilemmas. We will always be working though something.

BUT!

We’re not going to let these (our) ‘things’ become an excuse for staying where we are.

This year let’s commit to ourselves to not let these ‘things’ we’re working through…perpetually it seems…to prevent us from moving forward.

SO…

What am I thinking about right now that I am allowing as an excuse, so I don’t do what I am hoping to accomplish in my life?

Work through it…and you will get to the other side.

It’s Not Perfect!

Progress is not perfect. It’s progress.

A progression towards our envisioned ideal. Any step forward is in the right direction.

If everything was perfect, there’d be nothing to work towards, no goal of achievement.

How dull! Nothing to do but sit and grow weary from boredom.

We humans need challenges! Conquests! Things to tackle! The feeling of a job well done!

Lay down your badge of ‘Perfect!’ and pick up your new badge of hope called ‘Progress!’.

Let’s begin!

I believe good will ultimately overcome in the end. However, in the meantime…

Evil always seeks to overpower good. That’s why it is called evil.

It tries to defeat and destroy the good coming out from others.
It wants to be in charge/control.
It wants to be centerstage.
It wants all eyes on it and what it is doing.
It uses fears, threats, intimidations towards the innocent who are trying quietly, faithfully to do good.
It feels it won’t get any resistance back from them. They will quietly give in to the demands of it – not wanting to ‘disobey’ or cause a ‘scene’.
It is a bully – always pushing, shoving, scheming its next action to get its way.
It is very sneaky and wants you to do its work.
It will make you think you thought it up.
It will condemn you when you do it.
It will tell you it was your fault.
It will tell you-‘you are hopeless’.

Do not listen to its lies. You are stronger than it. Continue doing your good work.

God is for you.
