II Timothy 1:7

So today as I was working out, I was praying for some scripture that I could focus/meditate on for the rest of this journey. I was reminded of II Timothy 1:7 which says:

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity 
(or fear in some translations), 
but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline.

I thought this was definitely fitting seeing where my heart has been recently and the fact that I am learning a lot about self-discipline in this process which, if I am going to continue being honest, I am not that good with the self-discipline. I am working on it though. It's an effort that you have to put forth every day. Every day you have to be conscious about the decisions you make and the steps you take. I want all of these things that it talks about in this verse. I do not want to have a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. One step at a time is all I can ask for right now and this is what I am aiming for.

All in.
