Are you ready to give up?

I don’t know about you, but it has been a challenging 17 days for me of the Bible in 90 Days.

I have felt Satan whispering in my ear, reminding me of how not perfect I am and telling me how I am not fit to lead this group of readers.

“What have I gotten myself into?” I’ve thought. “I am sooo overwhelmed. I don’t know if I can lead this again with so much else going on in my life.”

I’ve been away from home 10 of the last 17 days. And I’m off again today for 10 days. I have 3 children and another life outside of blogging here at MomsToolbox. My plate feels sooo absolutely full.

And that is exactly why I’m saying to Satan a big “What-Ev! Talk to the hand, baby.”

I am in because I have so much going on. I am in because I am not pefect and I am in because I love my Father and want to hang out with Him more and hear his messages for me. And I am in for you, too. I know how amazing it will be when we cross that finish line… and then what happens next. He’ll get me through… and He will get you through, too.

If you are feeling like it might be time to throw in the towel and stop reading: Don’t.

Please click over and read a post I wrote entitled Thinking of Giving Up? instead. And then let me know what you think.

Are you going to let Satan win? I’m not.

    I am not letting him (Satan) win, I will finish and yes at times it is hard, we all have other things going on in our lives but we have to remember we are here because of Him and what a way to honor our God by reading His words and applying them daily. I too will not let Satan win, I will cross the finish line.

    Awww…I love what you said! I agree:

    “When you read at this pace you can see how it all fits together.

    When you read this fast you DO remember more than you think

    And, when you read this fast, you are encouraged to keep it up and not stop, not give in but keep going, surrounding yourself with His Word.”

    I am already experiencing all of these truths and I think about what I have read so often throughout the day and when I am listening to speakers on the radio and talking to my husband and sister.

    Thank you for your encouragement!

    God bless you Amy!

    Thanks for the encouragement Amy. Your timing was right on. I was thinking about dropping out because I’m 4 days behind and am feeling overwhelmed by a lot of ‘stuff’ going on in my life. But, that’s exactly why I need to be reading,right?

    I am not ready to give up (yet!). But there have been days when I have said to myself- it’s ok, skip today, you can make it up later.

    I couldn’t give in to that because I know me. I would have a hard time making it up and fall further and further behind. Then I would want to give up.

      I’ve been there. And I stopped. But then I pulled myself back on track and finished and it has changed my life. :) YOU CAN DO THIS! Don’t let Satan convince you to stop.

    You go girl! I am amazed at how God has used this #B90days challenge to reach so many people for Him. You give that ole devil “the hand” anytime you need to and know that I am praying for each person participating in this challenge, but especially you!
