I am a snail too and join you with a thankful heart that God is open and does invite us to persist. I thought this was so refeshing.

Much of my life I have embraced the notion of “if its meant to be, it will happen” and have found a lot of peace and trust in that.
However, in this new season of life, God is pushing me towards persistence. It also takes faith and trust to live in the uncomfortable place and to be actively engaged in growth and building. Now, I am beginning to crave the adventure discomfort brings… sound odd? Its new for me, and the really wonderful thing is that even if I’m exposed and fail, God still is with me… and WANTS to be. Great oist, Jean. Blessings to you

Thanks, Jean.

I do feel like a snail at times. But thankful God will walk with me, even at a snail’s pace!

I really liked the snail image and that quote and knew it would fit perfectly this blog post. Your words encouraged me so thanks to you too.

Sometimes I feel like that persistent snail. It’s encouraging to know persistence, no matter how slowly we’re moving, eventually pays off–and that God waits for us. Thank you for encouraging me.
