Good morning, Team! It’s Friday!

What are we supposed to do?

Life throws us curve balls and there are times we don’t know how to react.

How many times are we supposed to rally, persevere and move on?

Here’s a hint:

Until-
•It’s over
•It doesn’t hurt any more
•The debt is paid
•The mess is cleaned up
•The papers are signed
•The cows come home
•Faith is restored
•You’ve completely forgiven whomever you’ve identified as the culprit…often times found in the mirror

We are surrounded by tragedy. Hurricane Irma and Harvey are some of the most recent colossal storms filled with stories of loss and despair. The clean up efforts will take years for full restoration. If you are affected directly or indirectly, what will you do? Stand in your driveway and shake your fists at the sky?

Perhaps my three favorite sources said it like this-

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Winston Churchill

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Teddy Roosevelt

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you pass through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; The flames will not consume you.
Isaiah 43:2

Now is the time for conviction. Stay sharp, work hard, learn from your situation so you may apply the lessons going forward. Muster up the energy, patience, tolerance, tenacity, and passion to emerge on the other side of whatever you are currently dealing with stronger and wiser than before.

Have a blessed weekend!
