Shoot.
It happened again.
I started to give up before I'd even started.
I have struggled as long as I can remember with giving up. I have a list of about 2 things that I've ever stuck with, finished and become good at. I need to focus on that tiny list and making it larger. But, my own issues pull me down every time.
I just get started with something. Let's see, crocheting, accounting, computer programming, piano and on and on and then - bam! I find someone better than me. Someone who has either succeeded easily and quickly or who worked hard and is seeing great results - and I give up. Why bother? They already did it.
Gets me every time.
I end up in a sad, sad place of disappointment, failure and self pity.
It's totally lame. Do you ever end up there?
There truly is only one place I can find any relief and promise of true transformation in this area. My savior. He is the only one who offers me unconditional acceptance and the energy and power to change this in me.
I have several new things on my plate at the moment. Things I'm oh so ready to give up and drop. It would be so much easier, I tell myself. My life would be so much calmer and I could revert to my introverted, solitary, safe place. And I'd have…. not much.
So - today I am choosing faith. We can rely on the power of Christ to keep going. To persevere. To not give up until we absolutely CANNOT go on. To pray for doors to close in our face to keep us from going. I will go.
I will continue.
I will work hard and find success in the process. Join me?
Booyah!
