Can't Stop Won't Stop — GRITANDFAVOR.COM

Ministries fail. Dreams fade. Lives stall. BECAUSE WE STOP.

+++

I’m fully convinced 90% of ministry is just not stopping. I’m fully convinced 90% of marriage is not giving up. I’m fully convinced 90% of parenting is showing up.

+++

There will forever and always be roadblocks, hiccups, and all-out sin cycles. There will forever be outbursts and missed deadlines. There will be tears and shouts. There will be let goes and let downs. BUT none of these claim victory if we don’t stop.

+++

If we want to SEE THE VICTORY that has already been won by our gracious Father… We. Must. Keep. Going. One step and one day at a time. Get your derailed train back on the track and go.

+Missed a few (years worth of) workouts … put on your shoes and go for a jog (or walk).

+Overcorrected your child for spilling another glass of milk… don’t neglect the power of a simple apology. “I’m sorry I overreacted” will heal a multitude of hurts.

+Feel your marriage slowly slipping away… shave your legs, light some candles, put on the skimpy nightie and do the thing! A moment of physical connection can change everything. (yep… I went there. Husbands… you’re welcome )

+Not sure what steps to take to grow your ministry… grab your Bible and some coffee. Pray for God to show you just one thing. Seek and you will find.

Victory is literally one step away!

“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:2-4‬ ‭MSG‬‬
