“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
The first month of 2019 is about to spill into February, so let me ask you–
Are you on your way to where you desire to be or is the thrill about gone?
If you’re already feeling like giving up, or not sure you have what it takes to see this thing through—whatever the thing is, you are not alone.
As I share in my new book, Dare to Begin Again, “An unavoidable truth is this, there will be bumps and bruises along life’s path. Some of them are unfair, uncalled for, unjustified. It stinks. I know. Sometimes things just don’t work out the way that we thought they would.
But, I have great news. It doesn’t have to stay that way. God is a God of new beginnings, and throughout the entire Bible we read about people who were stuck, disappointed, and faced impossible situations, people God freed.”
Growing up, I had athletic coaches who “made me run one more lap, do one more sit up, pushed me through exhaustion, one more time. Even when I was tired, fed up, or hurting, they wouldn’t let me quit.”
- Don’t give up.
- Keep pushing with your goal in mind.
- Find a group of like-minded friends who will cheer you toward success.
- Check back here for nuggets of encouragement and guidance from my latest book, along with my favorite book–the Bible.
“If you are reading this, you’re breathing, alive, and you are motivated. Motivated not to stay stuck where you are, but to move forward. Motivated to do great things, to realize the dreams that once kept you up at night, to let your heart hope for things long forgotten.”
Excerpts from Dare to Begin Again: Let God Write Your Best Future, Rosalinda Rivera. (Whitaker House, 2018.)
“There is light at the end of your tunnel. There is victory in your tomorrow. Stop complaining about your current situation and let’s do something about it. I dare you to turn your story over to God–
I dare you to begin again.”
