Full Throttle

"Sometimes beginning is a challenge and sometimes ending is a challenge but CONTINUING – day in, day out, in what you know to be right or what you know to be your present charge from God -  now, THAT’S where the endurance comes. That’s where the enemy takes us down over and over." - Beth Moore

It's funny to me how many times God has to tell me the same thing over and over again.  I just read this, but the funny thing is today in Sunday School we were in Acts and the teacher was talking about Paul and how he was full throttle kind of guy.  When he was saw and persecuting Christians he was 100% at it, when he was converted then he was 100% out for Christ and telling others about Him.  The teacher said that we need to be more like Paul full throttle doing the last thing God told us, until He tells us the next thing.  (Now obviously God didn't tell Paul before his conversion to persecute & kill Christians.)

Sometimes I get so caught up in the next thing, praying and begging God to show me what His plan for me is, instead of being content and running my race, the race He has for me.

ABC....

Ridiculous!!!! That's right ridiculous...I'm vitamin deficient: B6, B12, D & E.  I've googled all of these and it comes down to nutrition.  NUTRITION!!!!  I love grocery stores, cooking, cooking shows, recipes, however I'm not using any of that knowledge for my benefit.  That stops NOW!
Thank you Lord, God for leading my doctors to refer to my new neurologist!  Thank you Lord, for bringing this to my attention before my health took a severe down turn.  Lord please help me not to wallor in my self pity and failures, but to persevere.  Lord also please help me to remember that this body isn't mine, it is Yours and that it is Your temple!
