James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

One thing the Lord is teaching me this month is my character. It seems to be the theme... Painful many a times but necessary. The Lord desires for me to become all that I can be for His glory. I will not let it go to waste. I am seeking You like never before, growing and being stretched. I will heed Your voice & leap forward in full faith of the plans You have for my life. Lead me as I take the lead...

I submit to You O Lord.
