"I Will" Statements for Perseverance

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets theprize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 NIV

The first week of January last year we were working on “Perseverance.” That is exactly what we will be working on the first week of January this year. If you are not caught up, I am providing links back to things we have done in the past. You can also visit my perseverance tab to see all of the activities.

When I first began my character development series, I had not started doing the “I Will” Statements yet. Today, I will add in some “I Will” statements for perseverance.

We have now adopted “I Will” statements for our character development series. We made this cute board to highlight the focus phrases. I got the idea for “I Will” Statements from “Character First,” a character based curriculum. Although I haven’t used a lot of their content, I wanted to give them credit for this idea. Our four phrases this week are:

1. I will set goals.

2. I will ignore distractions.

3. I will face problems head-on.

4. I will not give up.

This main concept was used, with permission, from the Character First Education Curriculum.
