...to getting back on track and becoming the best version of myself.
Today I was struggling a lot- focusing on my outward appearance and comparing myself to others in a negative way.
Then I read my last post about Beauty and the Beast, and surprisingly, I actually felt encouraged by my own post.
How awesome is that?!
I'm still struggling with wanting to look a certain way, but at the same time,
I'm so tired of wasting my time on that.
I want to put more meaning into my life.
I want to think about others more instead of myself.
I want to do something with my life- something really meaningful.
I want people to see Christ in me.
I'm definitely not perfect, but it's okay as long as we get back up again after we fall.
I heard this phrase a while ago: "Fight. Fall. Repent."
I think the point of the phrase is that we need to fight- to push ourselves- to fight against our sinful nature.
We sometimes fall. That's normal.
Then, the important part: We repent. I read about repentance and the author described repentance as "turning around"- that is, turning around from our mistakes.
So,
don't fret.
When we fall, let's make sure to get up again and start fighting again.
Keep going. We'll get better- you and me- day by day.
As long as we really put effort in, God sees our effort and encourages us.
We're eagles-in-training, people!
Let's get going!
Onward! Seize the day.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 <3
