Blogging each week has been something I've committed to for over a month now, and it's interesting to see how a small choice can lead to so much fruit in all aspects of my life. It's not always perfect, I don't get hoards of views/reads/whatever analytics, but I gain the satisfaction of knowing that I've committed something to God to grow me in my steadfastness.
As I prepare for my future as a doctor, possible wife and mother, and many other roles I can't imagine even now: I know that all these roles will require steadfastness. It is so easy to quit when things get difficult. There are a million excuses or reasons to quit something.
"It's hard."
"I don't like it."
"This isn't what I signed up for."
"I don't feel like this is what is right for me."
I say that all the time, but real life -- the life God wants for us on Earth -- requires a push to keep going. I do believe in reasons to quit things. You're being prompted or tempted to sin. God has personally verified and spoken over you to leave a person or position or path. It is hurting your calling. It is an abusive situation. But I wonder how many times I leave things unfinished because I'm done with it.
Even if you quit, even if I stop posting each week, God will be faithful. That's all you need to know. You can be faithless, and God will be just as faithful.
