I'm a huge fan of 'keeping it real'. I try to avoid my head getting stuck in the clouds and constantly try to find the line between Negative Nancy and Overly Optimistic Olivia (I totally just made that up haha). That being said, sometimes I focus too much on the goal instead of the progress made. Get discouraged and then stop doing anything at all. Same pattern everytime. God has really been bringing this to my attention this week. It took me just a few days to stop looking at this process as one day at a time and start looking at it like "Oh crap, no time, no money, how am I going to do anything?!". Jesus has helped me to look at what He has done while I have done what I can. The goal along with the progress; not either or.
So prayer request: That I would stop this pattern of progress, standstill, progress, standstill and remember that Noah's Arc wasn't built in a day. Just because he couldn't build it in a day doesn't mean he freaked out and stopped building all together.
