Yes and again I say yes! Endurance and steadfastness is the word for right now. How funny, b/c I am currently meditating on this very thing myself. I am also pondering on the fact that everything we do for the Lord will be for a purpose and NOT wasted as the Word says. I think all of us (me included) feel the forces of the wind, but standing our ground is key even when we FEEL like everything around us is shaky. I will stand in faith with you. We will see the victory, we will see the breakthrough, we will see our God show up and show off on our behalf! Love you!

When you perserve it brings forth a character change and then leads to a hopefully heart. That is what enduring for me is and continues to be for me. We all go through so much in life and I think that somehow and someway God does prepare us or gives us an instrument to press on. Like this past year, it was praise and worship music and still is for me. I would praise HIM and worship HIM to another level. And, when the tragedy happened my heart was tored but also mended. Sometimes, we just do not know what life will bring our way but I do know that God does provide more than enough to bring us through. I do agree that when you are enduring; you are learning something important that will not only benefit you but someone else. I do believe that we do not go through just to go through but to learn and to be blessing or a helping hand to someone else who at that time may not understand or even can handle the situation. But when you share with that person or individual our experience, I do believe it helps them to press on and to endure themselves and to learn to be an encouragement to someone else. So, yes when we have learned through our time of enduring are hearts are hopeful again and even more prepared and strong to continue on this race that we are on.

Endurance…Doing it. Bought the t-shirt and worn it out.
Endurance is not just about seeing it to the end. It is about what you do during the endurance. I have a whole little “sermon” that started brewing about a year ago that I call…In the Middle of the Conflict. In short, the answer is endure. But how? I think we all have our own “recipe” for enduring and each of us need to walk it out the way God asks us. Your enduring may not look like mine. The attitude we have while enduring is the key. Some days I do great with enduring and other days I stink at it. On the days I stink…..well, I praise. I praise everyday anyway, but I have to get my shout on when I’m having a bad endurance day.
Praising in music and being thankful are the keys for me. Maybe they are for someone else too. Want to know what my endurance test is? A marathon international adoption of epic proportions. If you want to know read more about my journey come back by 1smartmom on the 15th of this month. Thanks Angel, I think you just helped me sew up my topic for this month.
Here’s to enduring together. Be Encouraged you’re not alone.
