Just Keep Swimming!

Short and sweet, these words of wisdom from Dory the fish (from the film Finding Nemo) are my motto for this year. Every time I feel discouraged I think to myself "Just Keep Swimming" and smile at the picture of funny little Dory that pops into my head! Sometimes this is all we can do. We may not make any progress but as long as we keep our heads above water and make it to the end of the day without drowning then we can count that day as a success. Even when the shore seems an impossibly long way away as long as we keep swimming I know we will all make it there, and when you feel like you just can't do one more stroke then I know that our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ, are there to keep us afloat while we take a deep breath and then carry on paddling. I hope this post will help any of you who are finding your personal challenges particularly hard at the moment to have hope that you will get there in the end.
