I spent so many years climbing a mountain of dreams, grappling to hold onto plans and things that resembled pieces of my former self. But I kept slipping, falling just short.
It felt like failure. But I realized I wasn’t failing. I was changing.
I wasn’t the person I used to be — because that’s not who I am supposed to be.
I was made new.
The day I took hold of Jesus’ garments, I didn’t see that He started working a miracle in me; a work that He continues to do each day.
He changes my heart to a heart for Him.
He changes my dreams and desires to those that will glorify Him.
He changes me.
Although I still fall short and make mistakes these days, the hand of God is steady and strengthens me for my journey.

Thank you for the encouragement, Missy!
Uplifting post, Claresa. Keep yielding to Him. So thankful that He is consistently at work in us. Visiting from Five Minute Friday.
Love this, Claresa – taking hold of Jesus’ garments. I’m familiar with those failure lies the enemy likes to tell. Here’s to the amazing changes God authors in our lives! Great to meet you, FMF neighbor!
This is beautiful, Claresa! What a good reminder to start my day.
Thank you! I’m glad you stopped by!
