In February I attended IF Gathering at our church. IF Gathering is a simulcast that happens once a year. On Friday night Christine Caine spoke on Hebrews12:1-4. I have thought a lot about those verses and what she talked about. The main thing is I am to persevere. Perseverance is defined as a continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. This is hard.....life is hard! Some seasons are much harder than others We need to have endurance in our personal walk with Christ. His WORD commands us to finish strong. God has gifted each of us with talents and gifts to use in this life. The enemy will do anything to make us fail. I encourage everyone to finish strong. I made this necklace for myself and 2 friends who were at IF Gathering with me. It says 'finish strong". There is a smaller circle with a single dot. This single dot represents how brief our life is on earth and how small this time is when you look at eternity. The pearl I used represents beauty. Out of difficulty a pearl is made. I hope this necklace will be my visual reminder to persevere in this life and use my talents to run the race that God has for me.......but most importantly to FINISH STRONG.
 
The larger circle pendant size is approximately 1 inch diameter and the smaller circle is approximately 12mm.
