"Right now you may be in the middle of a long stretch of the same old routine. The beginning of your Christian Life was exhilarating. Your spiritual adrenaline was pumped up. But now there are miles behind you in miles to go. You don't hear any cheers or applause. The days run together, and so do the weeks. Your commitment to keep putting one foot in front of the other is starting to falter." Joni Erickson Tada
Don't loose sight of the finish line nor the beauty even in the hardships and mundane along the way. God has you right where you are for a grand an glorious purpose. He is not finished with you yet.
"Someone once said the challenge of living is, to develop a long obedience in the same direction. When it's demanded, we can rise on occasion and be patient... as long as there are limits. But we balk when patience is required over a long haul. We don't much like endurance." Joni Erickson Tada
