Wednesday // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: The Mountain. Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c This verse talks about a race, but I often picture it as hiking up a mountain. I like this image because it reminds me that Jesus can choose which mountain we climb. Too often, we end up trying to […]

Wednesday // Grit :: Influence

It is a head-scratcher that […]
