Hello, friends! I know I don't always write here on this blog, but I am keeping it and hoping to use it more in the coming year. I won't be setting a goal as to how often to blog, because I am a teacher and my life is not in a place where I can commit to regular posts. But I do like to set yearly goals, and this year I decided to go one step further--a personal theme.
My personal theme will be "Overcome to Become". After going through the Come Follow Me: New Testament curriculum this past year, the book of Revelation very much taught me the importance of overcoming the world. My eternal goal is to become like my Savior, so this year I will be focusing on the overcoming that I need to do in my personal life.
What will this look like? I am not sure yet! I just feel inspired to use this as my theme, with 1 John 5:4-5 as more inspiration:
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
and this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world,
but he that believeth that
Jesus is the Son of God?"
Some thoughts I have had are overcoming unkind feelings I have towards others, overcoming other faults I know I have, or even overcoming my inability to regularly blog. ;) I know that "overcoming" is the direction the Lord is leading me, and He has never led me astray yet. Nor will he ever.
He has helped me overcome the issues my anxiety brought to my life, I know that He can help me overcome everything else this life has in store for me. So, with that, I will attempt to keep you all updated in the coming year of my "Overcome to Become" journey!
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog! Do you have a personal theme for next year? Has this post inspired you to have one? If so, I would love to hear about it and how you will share it in 2020!
