Praise God for the privilege of serving the kingdom in various assignments as teacher, encourager and sharing the gospel as opportunities are available. After all of the challenging situations endured, there’s still joy, strength and peace to keep moving forward at all times, in every season. Hidden treasures are discovered in whatever remains after surviving critical life situations; therefore, keep moving forward, even if on broken pieces (Acts 27:35-44). It’s a new season to fulfill life's purpose for God’s glory and applause.

Then the remnant left in Israel will take their place among the nations. They will be like dew sent by the Lord or like rain falling on the grass, which no one can hold back and no one can restrain. (Micah 5:7)
It’s time to press forward, letting go of past hurts, hindrances and holding on to the promises of God, being confident that in Him we are more than conquerors. Lay aside every weight or whatever can hold you back (Romans 8:37; Hebrews 12:1). Be thankful in everything (1Thessalonians 5:18) for this is God’s will. Those who wait on Him have renewed strength and can soar like eagles. #StayFocused

I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it.
(Philippians 3:12-16) MSG
