Hebrews 12:1-2 King James Version
12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus 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.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!! Well, it's the last day of 2022, and I can't help but praise God for not just this year, but for all the things that He’s done for Ricky and I through this. As I look back at all the craziness of this year, especially learning of the recent deaths of notable people, including Barbara Walters, and yes, even Pope Benedict XVI, I can't help but thank God for bringing us through this year. I can't help but thank him for giving me the courage to continue on in this race, even when I feel like a hamster stuck in a wheel, or I feel burnt out as anything. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, are both motivating me and encouraging me to keep running the race, and I'd like to share these questions with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that they will motivate and encourage you to.

What would it look like to finish strong?

Who has been an example of finishing well?

Right now my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has shown me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you tonight, will help motivate and encourage you to continue running this race. Come join me in this blog my friends, and learn what it means to not only run this race well, but to finish it strong, with honor and integrity for Christ! 😊

As I close this post for this evening, I pray that you will not be afraid to run this race, but to run this race well, and finish it strong for Christ. That you do as Timothy was urged, in preaching and teaching the word “in season and out of season”, to keep your focus on the One who is at the end of this race, waiting to welcome you with open arms, and give to you that precious crown of life. To keep your focus on the One you are in this race for, keep your eyes on the One who created, redeemed, and made you whole, so that I might be a godly example for others. Most of all, don't be afraid to this race well, and finish it strong with honor and integrity for the savior!! 🏃‍♀‍🏃‍♀‍🏃‍♀‍🥇
