faith
Do you ever become overwhelmed with the thought of everything you aren't? Or perhaps with all that you are, but shouldn't be...
I had one of those days on Sunday. Trying to be what God desires me to be sometimes just seems like too much. I don't always even want to do what I know is right. And I get discouraged. Plus it feels like a double whammy when I recall that I'm involved in various ministries at church. Then I wonder if perhaps I am not qualified...
A friend reminded me that even though sometimes I fail, that does not make me a failure. That God has not and will not give up on me. The Apostle Paul says that we are more than conquerers (Romans 8:37).
Reading through Romans reminds me that my struggles are not unique to me. And I do find that encouraging because I am reminded that God has already given me what I need to succeed. And all my excuses are just that: excuses.

Frequently, in very short but powerful waves. About once a week for a minute or two I feel completely inadequate for who I want to or should be. Most of the time is is motivating, sometimes paralyzing, and I wonder how I could ever reconcile the current me to the want-to-be me.
You are not alone in this.
