Hebrews 12:11 Newsletter

Good morning Reader,

Do you remember waiting for Christmas as a kid? It felt like torture. The wait to see what was under the tree was almost too much to handle.

My Favorite Verses: Part 6

"Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised." — Hebrews 10:36 NLT

Here's the hard truth about financial freedom: it won't be fixed overnight. Whether it took one bad decision or years of bad habits to get here, it's going to take time to turn it around. I get the frustration of wanting things to be better today. Nobody wants to struggle on purpose. I don't either.

So why do you need patience right now?

• Keeps you from making things worse while you're still working things out
• Helps you think clearly instead of reacting out of frustration
• Lets you see your progress, instead of only staring at the finish line

When I started practicing patience, I finally saw my own growth. I felt proud of small wins — like skipping takeout because I'd already planned my food budget, or wanting something expensive and paying for it in full instead of putting it on credit I couldn't really afford.

It's a good feeling. I want you to feel it too.

Reflection Question: What progress are you overlooking because you're only focused on the finish line?

Prayer of the Week: Dear God, help me see the progress I've made instead of being frustrated that I haven't reached my goal yet. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Have a great week!
