As the New Year rolled around, I thought and prayed what word and verse would come to mind that I could hold onto this year; gradually “discipline” and 2 Timothy 1:7 rested on my heart. And as I think about the progression of 2018, I entered the year with the hope of 2017 flowing over and running out once I lost my grandfather. From there, the rest of the year came with questioning and doubting and struggling, a few brave moments, and some disappointments. Unfortunately 2018 never lived up 2017. But now I’m looking head on into another year with the uncertainty of what is to come and hundreds of worries trailing behind, trying to reconcile the hardships of 2018 with a brand new year. And while I have zero control over what happens around me, this word “discipline” reminds me that I’ve got to put in the effort to do the dirty work and change my attitude, perspective, and thoughts so new life in me can grow. And even though I feel too weak to try, it’s not my own strength I will rely on in 2019. I know He’s cheering me on just to get up and try again. 💜💕 • • • • #discipline #effort #writings #handlettering #lettering #calligraphy #typography #2timothy1v7 #bibleverses https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUgWCZAJoK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vc9v8eyth76u
