I know… it has been a long time. Things in my life have been insane, but that gives God opportunity to show His awesomeness more clearly, right? We serve such a wonderful, loving, merciful God!!!
I want to share what He showed me in my quiet time the other day. I finished Acts this morning and have been going through My Utmost for His Highest. A few days ago as I was reading through Acts, it hit me how many times Paul shared His testimony – over and over again. I was convicted. I fail so often in sharing what God is doing in my life and in sharing my testimony in general.
Then God encouraged me with this from My Utmost for His Highest. I am only putting part of it in here, ’cause it is really long. 
“Perseverance means more than endurance- more than simply holding on
until the end. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and
arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint
cannot see, but our Lord continues to stretch and strain, and every
once in a while the saint says, “I can’t take any more.” Yet God pays
no attention; He goes on stretching until His purpose is in sight, and
then He lets the arrow fly. Entrust yourself to God’s hands. Is there
something in your life for which you need perseverance right now?
Maintain your intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through the
perseverance of faith. Proclaim as Job did, “Though He slay me, yet
will I trust Him” ( Job 13:15 ).”
The last few weeks have been difficult. I was at the point of ‘I can’t take it anymore’. But God is still aiming, has His purpose in sight and keeps stretching me. I am again trying to entrust myself back in His hands…
