NOTHING is by chance.

This week a friend of mine posted this on her wall. As I scrolled through the facebook news feed and saw this, I stopped dead in my tracks. I read it over and over and over and over and kept asking myself, why did I start. But as the week went on it has become, "nothing is by chance."

After our sermon this morning I was challenged by so many different things but mainly, not giving up. I have spent this last week looking back over my life to see where I have come. I remember that I used to look back and say, "Man, if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have done that." Not now. I say something different. I say, "Man, thank you God for showing me how you knew everything and that it was for a purpose." 

Whatever it is that is making you think about quitting. Remember why you started. Get that passion back. Then think about how much work it took to get to where you are right now. Was it worth it? Do you wanna keep going? You have to make a decision for yourself. When you got that first initial thought, were you unstoppable? Did you wanna fight hard for it? Do you still have that feeling? If not, why? Is it because it's not your passion anymore, or have you lost the fight?

Nothing is by chance. NOTHING. God already knew your screw up. He already knew your failure. He already knew your oh crap moment. He knew that before he called you, AND HE STILL CALLED YOU! Think about that..... He knew everything you were gonna mess up and he still called on you....
