Yay! Day 2!

Today's scripture: 1 Timothy 4:15 (And yes, I read the whole chapter. You can pretty much expect that from here on out.)

In my devotional, the thought for the day is this: "Just because something is hard doesn't mean it's impossible."

That really resonates with me. I sometimes see things that just seem so difficult that it is hard for me to find a way to figure out a way to get any progress made at all. I just feel so overwhelmed that I'm not even sure where to start. So honestly, most of the time, if it's feasible, I'll ignore it for as long as I can. Cause if I ignore it, it will go away, right? NOT!!!! LOL! Now, I'm not the kind of girl who runs away from a challenge. I enjoy a challenge. I like being able to find a solution to a rather difficult situation. Sounds kinda contradictory huh? Yeah...what can I say. I think I just like to have things orderly and have a plan. It's getting to that plan that is the difficult part for me. 

I really liked one of the thoughts the author had, "Imperfect changes are slow steps of progress wrapped in grace...imperfect progress." How perfect!! I'm hoping to remember this thought as I face the overwhelming things that come my way. Maybe...by remembering this...I won't feel as overwhelmed or ignore it!

As for the scripture...I love how encouraging it is. The verse that stuck out to me the most wasn't the one that they listed but it was 1 Timothy 4:12:

¹² Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

While I like how it says that we need to be an example to all believers, I think that we need to be more of an example to the non-believers. Show them the light of God that lives within each of us. 

I feel like I kinda rambled tonight. Sorry if I lost ya.

Thanks for listening....well...reading. :)
