This week has been full of ups and downs. We have had the huge high of seeing God bring our spring pledge drive to an end a full day before we had planned--unprecedented in the history of this ministry! It was an amazing ride, watching those calls come in and seeing the percentages rise faster than I had ever seen them. And hearing the stories of people whose lives have been impacted by our efforts was both humbling and exhilarating! God is doing great things and we get to be part of that!
On the other hand, there are always other things that can work against the joy that God is giving: interpersonal communications gone awry, friends going through a rough time, working to lose weight and not seeing it come off as quickly as you think it should...so many things! I have had to consciously remind myself several times this week to keep my eyes on the prize, whether work-related or personally. When I lose track of that, I tend to get bogged down with the day-to-day things that come up and discouragement sets in. I don't want to lose my joy!
So, I'm pressing toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus...keeping my eyes on that prize!
