All Things are Possible

I have failed multiple times trying to find the easy way out, only to realize there isn’t one. This time, I must give it all I have and accept the mistakes that may come along with it. I must learn not to give up, even if I fall multiple times. 

In the past, I was prone to giving up when I made a mistake. I let the one screw-up determine my next steps, which were no steps at all. I felt like a failure, and I agreed with that feeling, leaving me in a place of stagnation—where growth isn’t found.

A change had to be made, and I was the only one who could make the change for myself. I have let defeat take too many wins from me, and that cycle must end now.

I know from experience that what I am after won’t come easy; it will take a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment. It will take a strength I know I possess.

There are no shortcuts for me, and I have accepted that as a fact as I prepare to slay this dragon that I have allowed to burn me alive from time to time.

I am no longer the girl who would give up without a fight. Time has trained me to get back up after every fall, and I tend to do so as I overcome this hurdle.

As I prepare to move forward, I know I am not alone. When I tried to do this in my strength, I often continued to fall and make excuses. Those excuses led me to the stagnation phase I mentioned above. 

Those days are gone now that I have aligned myself with Jesus; he has bestowed a spirit of endurance and strength upon me, which has given me the ability to sustain this path I am currently on.

A path that leads to victory as I finally come into agreement that “All things are possible for those who believe.” Defeat is no longer possible, and I will bask in it as I pick up my sword with the help of Jesus to slay the dragon.
