We weren't called to quit!

Today as I went over a draft for an upcoming interview, I realized that I said something that deserves a bit of redress. In the interview, I confessed that you can quit, but I couldn't shake the discomfort I felt after I sent in the revision. We CAN quit, but we weren't called to quit! The reason? I've dealt with it here and I'll share it again...I can't quit because I didn't start it! 

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6

So yeah, that good thing that gets more challenging by the moment...it didn't start with you! Don't believe me? Don't take my word for it. Try quitting...if you can sleep well for any length of time, if you never think about it again or feel no pain about quitting...that's not what I'm talking about! We all have a purpose and reason for being alive, that is the reason we can't quit! If God is working this thing until the day of Jesus Christ, we also have to get real about our responsibility to also work it the length of time we have on this earth! So while yes, you can quit, if you didn't start it, you don't have the right to end it! 

I know life gets hard and I know even more than anyone else how hard it is embarking on a journey down a path on the road less traveled. I know the feeling of not having a point of reference because you're the first to do it...that's not your cue to give up, stop or quit. That's your reminder that God has put you up to something that needs HIS help completing! So whatever in your life is at the impasse of continuation, I want to remind you that WE ARE NOT CALLED TO QUIT! We're not called to quit on the things assigned to us, nor this life in Christ! 

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 10:39

So, hang on in there! Keep pressing through life's challenges. You will make it if you don't quit! Now let me talk to you entrepreneurs and trailblazers...believe in the power of your dreams! Let that be your inspiration when you want to quit! Recently, I have revisited songs written over 15 years ago. Why? Because I believe in the message...not even me, but the message that I was given to share! Why would I, how could I turn my back on what God was so generous to place in my hands? He knew every challenge I would face, especially the ones I put in my way and STILL gave them to me. He knew I would have to first overcome myself before overcoming any external challenges and still gave them to me with His confidence that I would get it done! With that being said, I'm gonna get it done, even though sometimes I feel like giving up. You can, but why would you? The future you deserve, desire and have even dreamt of is depending on you to press through! Remember this, you don't have the right to stop what you didn't start! Take a break, take a breather but whatever you do, don't you take yourself out of the game! 

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Hebrews 10:36

    Yep, I Said It! 

    When I have something to say, I often say it. Many times, I try to find the best way to say it. Other times, there's just no easy way to say a hard thing. My journey in life has made me a person with much to say and the person people least want to hear it from. 

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, did it make a sound? Whatever you'd call what I say: "a tree falling in the forest", "the voice of one crying out in the wilderness", "uneducated noise" or whatever...I'm ready to step to the mic. Hear me as I roar (as gently as possible! LOL)
