FINISH STRONG

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

2 Timothy 4:7

Ready or not, here we are. I’ve been anxious for the last few days, but I understand where it’s coming from. First and foremost, I’m human. So, I have to admit the finality of it all has me all in my feelings and I’ve experienced every emotion possible.

Grief because again, divorce is like a death. Disappointment, sadness and frustration because things didn’t go the way I’d hoped in my marriage or for my family. Anxiety just from preparing to show up but there’s also a bit of excitement about the future and all that God has instore.

Here’s what I had to remind myself. I’m not alone. While this part of my life hasn’t been my most favorable, I have had favor. God has been with me every step of the way and this next step will be no different.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

Ephesians 3:20

Although there are a lot of unknowns, I believe there will be lots of surprises as well. I believe that God has been preparing me for this moment. So, as His plan unfolds, I will be ready to take action. Fear is no longer my future. And instead of allowing my emotions to dictate my mood, I will allow my faith and my belief that God will finish what He started because I have remained faithful and obedient.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Isaiah 40:29

I shifted my focus again from my issues and from my emotions back to the ONE who has already empowered me to win. So, not only will I finish my race, but I will finish strong.

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!

Luke 1:45
