Philippians 3:12 Press On...
Good evening my dear candle friends. Welcome to SEVENTH DAY's first ever blog. I couldn't be more excited!! Writing has always been something I've enjoyed, so why not add that to our website?
Maybe one person will read this or maybe 100? I'm not sure. What I do know is that I pray this will be a tool for not only me, but anyone following SEVENTH DAY Candle Co. to use in a way we can pull closer to Christ.
So, welcome. Welcome to my little journey as I press on...heavenward.
Today I fell in love with Philippians 3:12-14 "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me..." "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead..." "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus"
I'm 40. At 40 I find myself often wondering, am I enough? Have I done enough? Have I seen
enough? Do I love enough? Am I kind, good, loving enough? The answer to every single one of these questions is NO. I will never measure up to enough. I have not "arrived at my goal" I never will. That's why Christ died for ME, for you. I press on. I forget what is behind, like really really crappy unkind mom days and I STRAIN toward what's ahead. I press on toward the goal to win my prize. When everyday is just another struggle we've got to press on for the prize worth fighting for! We're being called. God has called me, you, us heavenward. Tonight I pray for anyone that might find SEVENTH DAY Candle Co. I pray you find Christ if you haven't yet; If you have, I pray for strength for you to Press On.
