I am grateful for promises made and kept. And the only one I have found that can make and keep promises 100% of the time is...well not me. (*You* thought I was going to say me didn't you, ha fooled you!) The only one who can make and keep promises 100% of the time is the One who created promises and is faithful to carry them out. One that I was thinking about today, although I think about it often, is this one: "I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you until the day Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, returns to redeem the world." The human speaker is the Apostle Paul but the author of that promise is God himself. He planted those words in Paul's mouth to speak out. Paul was just the messenger. I have been so grateful for that particular promise over the years. I'm not going to be left undone, incomplete, unfinished. I will be brought through and to completion. It's one of the best promises ever. I'm so grateful for it.
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
