Happy Wednesday my friend!
You can probably hardly believe this, but I’m finishing the final edits on my latest book!
I know it’s taken longer than anticipated, but Lord willing, I’ll get it on Amazon in the next week and up for sale in time to make some Christmas sales!
Writing it wasn’t actually the hardest part. For me, it’s always sticking with it through the details that’s the biggest challenge.
I’m not big on details. (hmm…That’s a thought I seem to be making a reality. Let me rephrase…in the past, I’ve not really liked dealing with the details.)
Anyway, in the past, details have been a struggle for me. So I’d say they are the part of any project that has always been difficult for me.
It’s so much “easier” to quit! 🙂
But on this project, I’m sticking with it, and pushing through and dealing with the details. Even though I don’t like them that much. What I will like, is a finished book published on Amazon and available to Pickleball players all over the world!
I’m not actually sure how it will all come together, but I believe that it will. Because I’m not quitting.
Can you do the difficult things this week? With the holidays approaching, I imagine there are even more things you don’t want to do also. But I promise you, it’s so worth it to push through.
Have that conversation.
–Finish that project.
–Bake those cookies.
–Clean out that room.
–Send in that form.
Ugh…so many details! But they are so worth it in the end.
Speaking of…here’s a little exerpt from the book. In case you don’t know, it’ a devotional for Christian Pickleball players. The lessons focus on Pickleball, but I think it’s applicable for life in general too. Enjoy!
Joy
Philippians 4:4 NET
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!”
I just love this verse. It’s like a secret we Christians can tap into anytime and anywhere.
The verse reminds us to find our joy in the Lord. Not in our circumstances or surroundings. Not in the play of our partner or whether we win or lose on the court. Our joy comes from rejoicing in the Lord.
He is the only one who is consistently all good all the time. We can always count on him, trust him, and rely on him.
We just need to set our minds to seek the good to be found. And in this way, we can rejoice in the Lord, which is always gratitude-inducing. And when we are filled with gratitude the joy follows. Rejoice in the Lord!
Prayer
Dear Lord, show me how to find the good. Show me how to find you in every situation so that I’m drawn to rejoice in you. Help me feel the deep abiding joy that comes from you.
Affirmation
I am a joyful person who finds the good in even the most difficult situations.
Love you and cheering you on,
Christy 🙂
