Pressing forward is not easy as it sounds but in doing so our efforts will eventually pay off. Galatians 6:9-(And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.)
When we choose to remain steady in the faith, we see results. Imagine you are in a marathon, your goal is to endure to the end. It may start off strong when you have the most energy but somewhere in the middle you start to slow down. Near the end, finishing takes lasting power. During this time you may have to motivate yourself, find your inner strength, and believe it is possible. You may feel like giving up or throwing in the towel because you may think you do not have it in you. Somehow you muster your courage and remind yourself how much it took to get this far. You see the end result of everything you have worked hard for and you make it to the end. You did it. You kept pressing forward when you could have give in. Your effort paid off.
In our journey called life we continue to press forward no matter the situation ahead. We see our victory. We see the opportunity to do great things and we accomplish them by pressing forward and reaping in due season. So, continue to press forward.

Encouraging Yourself
Encourage Yourself
There comes a moment when you have to encourage yourself. Mainly no one may be around or it could be something that you might not want to tell anyone. Whatever the circumstances are you might just find you have to encourage yourself.
Often times it is not that easy to encourage yourself be it a loss of an important person, tragedy that has struck, or maybe not as drastic but something you are dealing with that seems hopeless.
I have been in situations that I knew I could not tell anyone but the weight of the matter seemed to overtake me. Encouraging myself was not the first thing I wanted to do but it was the thing I needed to do.
I have had things happen to me that I literally thought my world would come crumbling down. Dark and painful moments I have seen them. Again encouragement helped to walk through the hardest paths.
My biggest form of encouragement came from reading the bible. I drew from the verses that told me to cling to hope, to not give in because God would not give up on me, and no matter where I been it would determine the great future God had for me.
It was not easy at the time believing and walking through heartache and pain but continuing to press my way and encourage myself proved to bring a much brighter day.
No matter the problem(s) that are before you remember to persevere through and never stop encouraging yourself.
1Samuel 30:6- And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

What Inspires You
Today I ask the question of what inspires you. What is your source of inspiration. Inspiration for many comes from faith, a particular person, family, a friend, a book, a movie, or any source someone feels inspired by.
Inspiration
1. stimulation or arousal of the mind, feelings, etc, to special or unusual
activity or creativity
2. the state or quality of being so stimulated or aroused
3. someone or something that causes this state
4. an idea or action resulting from such a state
5. the act or process of inhaling; breathing in
Inspiration comes from many sources and inspiration is different for many. Inspiration helps you to look at things in a different perspective. Inspiration motivates and encourages you to do what you thought you were unable to do. Inspiration moves you into a place of possibility.
Today, what is your source of inspiration? Find that inspiration and draw from it allow it to stimulate your mind to reach further than before. As well as you get inspired, remember others need inspiration too. Pass the same inspiration on you received to someone else waiting to be inspired.

Keep Your Peace
Don't allow your peace to be taken. Peace is your freedom of mind, when you are free from cares, and you have a healthy state of well being. Where can you really obtain peace from?
In the bible Jesus describes peace, but not the peace that exists in our world. Peace that only comes from the Lord.
John 14:27 NIV
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
If your heart is troubled and you find yourself afraid, there is a peace that can be obtained. This is the peace that passes all understanding. The peace of God. A peace that fills your heart, that only God can give.
Don't allow your peace to be robbed from you. There may be many things that are trying to keep you from maintaining or obtaining your peace. For your own healthy state of mind follow after peace and don't allow it to depart you.
Hold on to your peace cause without it, you will live in a world filled with troubles and fear. Be bold, be strong, be determined, to hold on to the peace that keeps you.
