That all sounds great, but where I tend to come up short is in the follow-through – finishing what I have started. Anyone else like me? I tend to get bored with a task I start and let myself get distracted by anything and everything. This is an area I’m definitely working on, so this blog is as much for me as anyone who reads it.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." See, even God has plans made for you. He has written them in His “planner” for your life, and it is full of good things. His plans for you include hope and a future - not just any future, but a good one! The only deterrent that can prevent you from receiving that excellent plan for your life is you! If you choose to have your life your way, you forfeit God's plan. He won't override your will. He wants you to hope in Him and expect that His plans are best and will bring you peace beyond your understanding. (Philippians 4:7)
