Persevere

You know that place where everything is moving around you, but you have to stay still, that place where you are working hard, but nothing seems to be happening, where you know what you need to do is very different than what you want to do, well, that's been my week. There comes a time when all that you want to do is scream, or run, or do something different, but the test of character is weather or not you will.
I know in my head that in order to get what I want, I have to stay here, and wait it out, and do what God has asked me to do, even though it is really hard. It is like going to the gym, you know that if you are really going to be healthy, and happy that you consistently have to go and work out, but after the first few months, the results don't seem to be there. The only way to get what you want is to keep going, and get through, this realizing that eventually you will feel better, and perhaps wear the clothing size you want and be able to do the things you want. I know taht if I am going to be able to do all of the things that God has for me to do, then I have to stay here and do what He has asdked, even though it feels like I am out of place, and have no idea what I am doing.
We often get inspired, and think to ourselves "I can do this, it really wont be that hard" but very soon after, we realize that it IS that hard, and we have to keep going, but the amazing thing about it is that when you are finally done, you feel as though you have accomplished something. One of my favorite things about humans in general is that when they have to they Will persevere and accomplish something, but more often than not, those who dont know how, who have no self disipline, cannot, will not, and do not get through. Basically what I am saying is that if you will persevere now, when the time comes, you will be able to prove yourself strong in the face of advacary.
My thoughts have kind of run away with me, and the last paragraph is off of the main subject, bur really, I just hope that this will make you think, and realize that the when it is hard, the only way to go is up.
