We are coming up on day 20 and it may seem like God has forgotten about this challenge He's supposed to be intervening and helping you with. But, He has not. In our virtual, microwave culture we want it fast and we want it now...well at least I do and am guilty of that. INSTANT is a word I cling to. However, most times, when we journey with God he takes us on the scenic route as he develops us in even more areas like patience.
Consider Romans 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
Keep trusting, keep believing, keep working, keep hoping and meet up for the 20 day workout so that you can stay connected. God IS going to do what you hope for as you wait patiently!
It's not too late to join us on this 101 day journey sign up today!
