This morning (which will be yesterday by the time you read this) God began to speak to my heart that He was one that finishes. He brings things into completion. Not wanting to let that God thought slip away from me I jotted it in my journal and went about my daily tasks. However, during the worship service tonight the same phrases were brought to mind again. He reminded me that He is not like humans that will start out on journey with you but drop out mid-trip. He’s not even like me, who will start projects with good intentions only to end up deciding the cost to finish was more than I expected. He is Alpha and Omega and the God of the in between as well. Just like the street in front of my home eventual ends and one has to decide to either turn right or left, God is bringing some situations in my life to the end. The journey will not end put that portion will be wrapped up. I don’t know where you are on your road with God but I’d just like to encourage you that God does not leave things in an incomplete state. Just as some roads or trips are longer than others, certain stages of our lives last longer than others.

Hi Wanda my first time at your blog. I love it. Thanks for your words today. I for some reason love to start things ad not finsh them as well. I stop and think about why I stop and just cant come up with an answer except I AM LAZY!! This is something that I am praying about. I want to finish strong in all that I do just like God does for us!!
Thank you for the great reminder.
Serving with Joy,
Sonya

Well put; I have been in limbo for a bit. You are so right, about the stages! We need to know sometimes the timing isn't right! Thanks
for the gentle reminder~

Sonya and Barbie, glad to have you guys as my newest followers. Thanks to each of you that commented. I felt a nudge to share what God had spoken to me last night and quickly typed it up before retiring. Sometimes ideas come to me but I never get around to writing but He wouldn't let me get away with it this time. Your comments were confirmation to me.

Hi Wanda!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day! This post reminds me of what I wrote for Christy yesterday. It is so easy to forget that He is still working on us (and in us). I am so thankful that I have a Savior who doesn't forget or give up on me.
In Christ,
Erin

So much truth in this! Yes, Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2 KJV).
