We have officially made it to the halfway point of 2017!
As you look back to what 2017 has been like for you, take some time praise God for the accomplishments as well as the fails. It is not easy to be disciplined or to carry on New Year’s resolutions but it is also never too late to begin one today. What do you feel God has been calling you to step out and do or not do? What barriers do you face in becoming more spiritually mature? It is important to remember that through Him, all things are possible and He will continue to supply you with perseverance and grace. Celebrate small victories and plan for the second half of 2017 to be even better physically and spiritually! One day at a time, you got this!
“This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24, NASB
