Are you trying to fulfill your dream, vision and goals?

As we strive to fulfill our dream, vision and goals for our life, there will be obstacles, challenges and hindrances that will come up.  In other words, there will be opportunities to become discouraged.  Discouragement is when we begin to loose our confidence, hope and become dispirited.  But we as God's children want to remain faithful to what God has laid into our heart.  We don't want to let anything deter us from fulfilling the vision God has given us.  As God's children we want to access the strength that God has for us so that we can fulfill that which he is directing us in.  This strength is found in the joy of the Lord.  The joy of the Lord is what provides us the strength to carry on and endure.  It provides us the strength to keep keeping on despite that which comes against us. (Nehemiah 8:10)
