Good Morning Girls!  You know sometimes it seems like we work and work on the same things year after year.  Just when we think we've made progress we find ourselves falling back on old habits.  We start yelling at the kids more.  We start feeling indifferent towards our spouse.  We start spending too much money on things we don't need.  We start drinking pop (or in my case coffee) again.  We stop exercising.  We all have things that we struggle with.  They are all different.  The one thing that that is the same regarding all of them......they can make us weary!
When I see an old habit has crept back into my life I am often surprised.  It seems like they just kind of creep in on me, slowly and undetected.....until it becomes a problem.  Once I see it is back I often feel frustrated thinking "really.....are we back here again.....how did this happen?"  I am seriously dumbfounded....and a little angry.  Angry because I didn't see it coming.  Angry because I let it happen.  Angry because I know the work it is going to take to get rid of it.....again.
But then I remember.....it wasn't me who got rid of it in the first place!  It was the grace of God.  It was the power of His Spirit indwelling in me that gave me the ability to conquer it the last time.  And I know as I know......He will give me the grace one more time, or a million more times......how ever many times I need it and ask for it! 
So yes, it does get weary fighting the same things time and again.  It does "Get old", this feeling of always having something to work on.  But one of the things that keeps me going is my hearts desire.  I desire to be the best I can be.  I desire to live a life worthy of His call.  I desire to make the most of my short time on this earth.  I desire to test and prove myself in all areas of my life.  I desire to learn just what I am capable of.  I desire to grow in my knowledge of Him.  I desire to look back without regret.  I desire to push my limits.  i desire to inspire others...
So Girls, as you go about your day fighting what seems to be the same old battle.....think about your hearts desire......you will find it a source of renewed strength and energy!  Take it from me.....and if that's not enough........take it from God's Word!

Isaiah 57:10 You grew weary in your search, but you never gave up.  Desire gave you renewed strength, and you did not grow weary.

Love you all (and that does not make me feel weary!)
