How To "Save The Day"
Your coffee spilled on your shirt. Traffic was exxxxxtra. There was a meltdown and now you find yourself saying, "This is not what I expected!" Been there? I have. Sometimes there are small disturbances and other times our lives are completely altered.
What do you do when life hasn't gone as expected? You put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. That, my friend, is perseverance.
Perseverance is doing something DESPITE difficulty or delay in achieving success.
So you have two options when faced with trial, trauma, or tribulation:
Give up and quit: throw a tantrum, curse your day, and raise your cortisol levels
Move forward: in faith and with hope, you are CHOOSING to believe this isn't your end
The choice is yours. Today--in the midst of my mistakes and failures--I'm CHOOSING to believe this isn't my end. If I persevere, I will see the promises of God in my life.
