See it through...

Do you ever get excited about something new in your life or a new opportunity? Isn't that a great feeling? You have high hopes and expectations. Do you ever think about what it will take from yourself to see it through rather than looking towards the other person/people/events to make things happen? Do you ever wonder why God has given you the new opportunity? How it can help you grow? How it can make you a better person? How it can help others become better too?
Isn't it strange that at the slightest hint of trouble, doubt comes roaring in and crashes like a tidal wave? Do you begin to tell yourself that is was wrong to begin with, and beat yourself up for getting your hopes up? Think negative thoughts about yourself or your own worth? I have. Have you ever stopped to consider that a hint of trouble may not be trouble at all, but a new opportunity...to work, to grow, to stretch? Maybe it wasn't wrong to begin with? Maybe you should keep your hopes up? Maybe you are worth a little effort to see something through?
I feel some exciting changes ahead and I am praying for the strength, courage, and wisdom to see them through. God has so much in store, this is only the beginning.
