1 Timothy 4: 7-8 - "Train yourself in godliness for, while physical training is of some value godliness is valuable in every way; holding promise for both the present life and the life to come".
It doesn't matter if it is a sport, choir, class or job, in order to do it well, it takes practice each day. It is the same with faith. We show our faith as we obey and fulfill God's mandates in real life. God uses challenges that come, where we are most vulnerable, in order to turn our weaknesses into strengths. Through all our experiences we will obtain spiritual victory. We gain the prize of victory in Christ. Our hearts overflow with joy and blessings.
Remember God loves you and so do I.

God's Plans
Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope".
Have you ever picked a dandelion head and blew the seeds off of it. I have. The seeds float through the air finding a suitable place to root and grow. Life is like that. Life blows us in new directions, into new stages. Sometimes this makes us uneasy. We want to cling to the familiar. Fear of the unknown can overwhelm us. However, God has a place prepared where you can put down roots and bloom afresh. Your paths may change. Seek God for guidance, trust him as life's winds blow you to new places, experiences and opportunities.
