I am horrible at making cookies...don't ask me why. I can make a great pie, I can make cake...but I think I just about ruined every batch of cookies I ever tried to make, and I mean even the simple recipes...so most times I am thankful for the"just add water and an egg" mixes for cookies and smile and nod when people praise them...hahaha...now you know my little secret!! BUT I try to make cookies on a regular basis, I just want to be able to do it!! Maybe I will stumble upon a great chocolate chip recipe or maybe a sugar cookie recipe...I just love cookies even when they don't love me ;)
Ofcourse there are much bigger things in our life that challenge us! It can be a daily challenge that comes your way or a sporadic one, but they come to you to see what you are made of. Will you give up when that happens to often or will you push through?
Yes, not giving up is a great victory to have in your life! To stand strong in difficult circumstances because you lean on the Lord and not on yourself strengthens your character and deepens your faith! If you are faced with difficulties, don't give up!! You are never alone, the Lord is always with you! He will lead you through the valley and will help you walk up the mountain to reach it's top!
Be blessed in pressing on and to master the "art" of not giving up!
