It's been a busy week of teaching at the learning center and also speaking to our local English service on Sunday night. Do you ever have those moments where you know what you want to say, but it doesn't quite come out of your mouth the way you planned it? That's been my week. Ugh. Prime time for a little humiliation and discouragement.
Interestingly, one of the points I was speaking about on Sunday night was the quality of being relentless or steadfast. It's like the Lord was telling me that I needed to preach this to myself. This has been my prayer . . . "May the Lord direct [my] heart to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ." (2 Thess 3:5).
