PERSISTENCE WILL PAY OFF!

It's become an inspiring example of PERSISTENCE even in the mainstream collection of movies, and it's definitely my all-time favorite.  I can see it now-- the scene in Alex Kendrick's movie " Facing the Giants" where the coach convinces one of his main players to crawl 50 yards with a 150-pound player on his back while blindfolded.  Through the pain, and because of his coach's urging not to give up, Brock manages to crawl all the way to the end zone... And discovers that the player he'd been carrying was 15 pounds heavier than he thought!

 If you're like me, are you tired of coming so close --but not close enough --to walking in ALL the fullness of living the Totally Devoted Life?  Has one disappointment after another convinced you that CHANGE is just a pipe dream?  Read with us this week and discover how attainable it is THROUGH PERSISTENCE...And just how rewarding it will be at the finish line when you STAY IN THE RACE.
