I will Keep on the course God has set before me even during trials, hurts, rejection, and struggles! Even in the storms I will continually to praise You my God for your amazing love! I will seek you in everything as you untangle the webs inside me! I pray you change me to be more like you! I will Keep my sights on you, Jesus (things above) for your Kingdom, as I chose to deny my way and live for your plans for me United in the Body of Christ! I place all my confidence in you because Your ways are higher then my ways and your thoughts are higher then mine! My plans are only your plans as I chose to align my life with only your will be done in me! I only want to live in your wonderful light in Unity with my sisters and brothers in Christ!

The refining fire is uncomfortable and it can get messy as the impurity’s come out of our lives, but is very important as God molds us! As I struggle to walk this morning, I search deeper in God’s word! It brought me to this passage in scripture that reveals how we can get tired if we focus on the wrong things and get lost in details! You start to get foggy and look for a different way, instead of looking straight ahead! It reminded me of the intense training in crosses country and track! I felt what it was like for my knees to give out on me and my arms so tired I could hardly hold them up! I had a good support system that encouraged me to keep going, who even ran beside me in the race! I heard my moms voice from miles away yelling my name, “keep going, Michelle!” We are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses (Hebrew 12:1) who do the same thing spiritually! It says in Hebrew 12:12-13, that your limb that is feeling lame will not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.” We need to be humble by allow God to continually search our hearts, so we can be healed! God is the one who renews my strength each morning even if my leg won’t work! I feel a tingle and sharp pain but I will not give up!! God works in amazing ways through relationships! God places sisters and brothers in Christ in our lives at just the right time and I’m so thankful for their love and support! So, as we grow together in unity, God is working in the inside of our hearts This is so we can have healing through the Holy Spirit as we grow to what we are meant to be for God’s glory! Keep our eyes on the Jesus who is the author and perfecter of your faith!

Hebrews 12:1-3 (NIV) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, ² fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Romans 12:9-16
