One of my Facebook friends posted this quote today:
"Perseverance means more than endurance...more than simply holding on until the end. Like a bow and arrow, God is stretching us, aiming at something I can't see. He'll keep stretching us until His purpose is in sight...then he lets me fly." - Oswald Chambers.
I have to be honest. Today has been one of the toughest days I've had in a while. My faith is shaky, my heart hurts, and I do not feel like an object lesson in endurance...let alone perseverance.
More than once, I've found myself curled up in prayer, begging for God to work in my heart.
And still, more than anything, I want to be found faithful.

It's been a little while since I've come to visit.
I LOVE this quote!
The stretching that God is doing in me isn't quite as tough as yours seems to be, but in keeping with the analogy: The longer and tighter He stretches you, the farther you will fly.
Keeping you in prayer...
