During the Marithon

Psalm 25:17 My awful worries keep growing.

   Rescue me from sadness.

18 See my troubles and misery

   and forgive my sins.

      That's pretty much where I am right now. Going through rough times in my home, and dealing with the pains that come with pulling myself away from people that I care about, but aren't good for me. This has been a very rough week, and just when things started to look up they dropped right back down to the ground. Today I've felt like a shell. I've felt like the life has been sucked out of me. I've been angry, hurt, and broken hearted. I've felt hopeless, though I know that I have hope in Christ.

    

 I'm in a marathon and I feel like I've hit runners wall.

but I must endure

if I don't endure through this I wont grow

and I won't move on to the next marathon

James 1:2 Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

     God is using this week to test my faith, and I must admit I've had some mess ups, but I have to decide right here and now to make it through this. To stand on His word, and to live in His promises of victory. Knowing that whether I have little or a lot, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4 tells me that, and that's God's word. God has never failed me in the past, even with all of the times that I've failed Him. He still doesn't abandon me!

I'll make it through this, because the one in me has overcome the world.

Keep me in prayer
I will really need it.
