“God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.” C.S. Lewis
Sometimes the best prayer are tears and a cry for help…God knows and sees everything, but he wants us to keep going and lean more into him when it gets tough!
God bless,

“What toil we must endure, what fatigue, while we are attempting to climb hills and the summits of mountains! What, that we may ascend to heaven! If you consider the promised reward, what you endure is less. Immortality is given to the one who perseveres; everlasting life is offered; the Lord promises His Kingdom.” – St. Cyprian of Carthage
Imagine the celestial finish line…it’s worth it!!

Muddy inclines, slippery rocks,
Dehydration and sweat soaked socks!
Tenacious ticks…hovering hawks,
Far away…out in the boondocks!
Sometimes God challenges us…hard!
Surprising…catching us off guard.
Uphill climbs are His “calling card”!
His motive? Love!…don’t disregard!
The view? Wow! A picture postcard!
TKC!

“A day wasted on others is not wasted on one’s self.” Charles Dickens

“Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and commonsense….We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less. The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us.” President Teddy Roosevelt
In business, there can be a lot of fine lines and grey areas, but everyone deserves a “square deal”, an honest brokering with clarity and fairness. This does not take away from being saavy, or shrewd or tenacious or well prepared…it’s a matter of simple justice. God notices and God will bless this effort!!
