overcoming means to succeed in dealing with.
i suppose this is what life is all about, isn't it? overcoming.
the one's that came before overcame,
and so will you and i.
i'm learning that overcoming is not a one time, one thing, kind of thing.
it is all things at all times.
there is so much to overcome, or rather to succeed in dealing with.
and there is recognizing that maybe, we won't or don't always overcome.
overcoming doesn't look like:
getting so caught up in the search for happiness that i lose sight of what happiness actually is.
shaking fists at the sky because of the endless disappointment of budding romantic ideals and hopes that never seem to come to fruition.
feeling weighed down and hindered by the conflicts in my own story
growing discouraged by what has not been accomplished.
and yet
by His grace
i never quite lose heart.
i suppose the initial aspects of overcoming looks like:
praying big (overcoming) prayers.
praying prayers that remain constantly on my lips,
hoping with consistency.
overcoming looks like:
knowing often things are hardly what they seem.
my life, our lives are part of a bigger story.
and understanding and respecting the necessity of seasons (literally and figuratively).
daily overcoming looks like:
truly believing in the virtue of patience which truly produces the really good things in life.
recognizing moment by moment, i am not in control of anything (surrender).

quietly i am almost always expecting more than what is truly mine for today (that is hope and overcoming melded together).
trying ever so hard to trust that one missed opportunity doesn't result in my whole word crumbling down before me!!!!
waiting on Him who is always Faithful, always True, and always Good.
