I don't enjoy taking selfies. I'm actually the self proclaimed Queen of Failed Selfies. (I'll share more about this later.) I just don't consider myself photogenic. My beauty is not conveyed well through pictures. (It's basically like obscenity; you'll know it when you see it...in person. 😂😂😂) In any case, I had to take a picture to commemorate the small victory I had over fear and remind everyone who needs reminding to stay in the race. Endurance is the key...Also, the joy of the Lord is our strength. Don't let the obstacles in your life and/or clownish activity in the world steal your joy or peace. Stay smiling! Happy Saturday!
P.S.
God did not give us a spirit of timidity, cowardice, or fear. He gifted us with a spirit of power, love , sound judgment and personal discipline, and abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control.
