How To Overcome Milestones

 When we think about Milestones, we think of the good, happy, and great achievements we can celebrate.

Although here is something that people may not realize, that sometimes there are milestones that we might like to forget, the milestones that are baggage, weight on shoulders, the milestones that can weigh heavy on our hearts, the milestones that weigh us down just as much as we would love to forget the bad milestones, the horrible milestones from past moments whether it be growing up, or whether it be something we struggle to let go of, those are the ones that God wants us to give to Him. Those are the type of milestones that we can't always face alone or on our own. We need to give it to Him and just let go.

Hebrews 11 verse 1, 1 Corinthians 13 verse 1-13, Jeremiah 29 verse 11, 1 Peter 5 verse 10, Philippians 4 verse 6-7, Romans 8 verse 28, John 14 verse 6, John 6 verse 53, Matthew 8 verse 26, Matthew 6 verse 33, Joel 2 verse 32, Romans 12 verse 3, Psalm 23 verse 1-6, 1 John 5 14-15, 2 Peter 3 verse 1-18, Psalm 1 verse 1-6. 

So where's this peace you promised? 'Cause right now it feels like fear, I'm hanging on, but if I'm honest

I can't even feel you near, So won't you come and take this? I'm begging you to take this, Oh, won't you come and take this?, I'm begging you to take this, My life was built on this, This wreckage can't be fixed, They say move on, but I feel, Like I'm bound here, I thought I had his love, Why wasn't I enough?, Tell me you have a plan, 'Cause it's not clear, no, So where's this peace you promised?, 'Cause right now it feels like fear, I'm hanging on, but if I'm honest, I can't even feel you near, So won't you come and take this? I'm begging you to take this, Oh, won't you come and take this?, I'm begging you to take this.

Every second you spend wishing God would take away a struggle is a forfeited opportunity to overcome.

Don't be bound by the past and it's failures. But don't forget it's lessons either.

God uses no one until He first puts them through the storm. The greater your mission, the greater your storm.

In so much of this we see how it's simple enough to celebrate the great milestones in life that we celebrate, but we also see that with God we can see how to overcome the milestones that lead us in a path of are we enough? Are we living for Christ? The answer to that is, yes we are enough and we are living for Him, but we must truly live for Him and pray that He not only helps us celebrate the good milestones in life, but to overcome the milestones that weigh heavy on our hearts, the ones we need to let go, the ones that Enemy would love nothing more than to say don't celebrate good, celebrate sadness, the bad things that happened, we as beloved children will never get to that as long as God is here and near to our hearts and how He shows unconditional love to each and every single one of us.

Benjamin Disraeli says: Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.

Howard Zinn says: If we remember those times and places and there are so many where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act.

In so much of these last two quotes, we see how sometimes when we believe so much of what the Enemy would love to say to knock us down and to make it feel like we can't overcome the milestones in which we all have our moments of feeling like why did this happen moment, it's then we realize we have become stronger in our relationship and Faith walk with Christ in order to overcome the difficult milestones that aren't always meant to really celebrate but to let go of, so we can celebrate the good.
