One of the lessons I’ve learned is that it is fairly easy to start something…it is much harder to finish it.  Most people have unfinished projects all around their house.  Projects that were good ideas, needed to be done, would make life easier, but they are still unfinished.  Starting never seems to be as difficult as finishing.
 
But finishing is important.  People want to be known for what they accomplished and not what they attempted.  While starting this walk with Christ is important, what has the most impact is to spend the rest of your life following Christ!
