~Perseverance~





When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

Author Unknown




So much of the time, there are those that try to keep us from doing what we know is right for us.. This can happen because they haven't got enough hope themselves. Or, perhaps they just don't have enough forsight to see into our dream or vision. I know this has happened to me more than once. I finally learned to believe strongly enough in things and go after what I want. In God's time and way, He will bring it to fruitition..




For example, when I first got on the internet, I told God I wanted to use it to do His work and spread His word.. He heard my prayer and has and is continuing to bless what I do. I believe in what I'm doing and enjoy it so much.. Just, BELIEVE in yourself and what you are doing as I do.. It may take a while, but it WILL happen.. You just have to persevere.. Ask God to guide you.. He's just waiting to help and wants only your best..




An unknown author once said, "The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places." It's so easy to stop and let the negative take over. Use these times as a learning experience.. Be strong in our Lord and keep right on going.. As I said earlier, keep your eyes on your goal not the obstacles.. And remember, when God closes a door in one place, He always leaves a window open in another..




Henry W Beecher said, "The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't." When I started writing, I knew it was what I wanted to do and I wanted to very badly.. However, I allowed myself to put up roadblocks in my path.. I didn't have enough faith in myself or self confidence and wasn't persevering.. In other words, my won't was stronger than my will..


I have since learned different.. My will to write is very strong now.. I feel fulfilled when I write.. And when something negative happens, I deal with it accordingly.. God continues to bless me abundantly just as He will bless you.. It's a learning experience all the way with its ups and downs.. However, the downs are just as important because we learn from them.. Also, don't ever feel like you are the only one dealing with whatever because you are not.. Just hold onto our Lord and He WILL see you through and in time, bless you in ways you never dreamed of........
