Morning Leaders. “To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It’s not about winning and losing; it’s about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It’s about embracing the pain that you’ll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge.” – Summer Sanders

Why Don’t I…
Why don’t I write more often?
Writing was an escape for me as I was growing up. It was a place for me to be in my head. In my world of imagination. Where I lived. Where I survived. Where I thrived. No one could reach me there. It was the perfect hiding space.
And now I am before people. There are various platforms for me which have been designed by my writing. This grace God has given me with the pen is my destiny. Dare I share my hiding space with the world? That is a tall order to ask.
How do you take your private domain and make it public? What safe space would there be left? I don’t know but I’m going to experiment with it in boldness.

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. – Jeremiah 29:12
A Prayer for the Grace of Devotion
O Lord, my God, you are my all and every good. And what am I, that I should presume to address you? I am the poorest of your servants and a wretched worm, far more poor and worthless than I can ever realize or express. Yet, Lord, remember that I am nothing: I have nothing, and can do nothing. You alone are good, just and holy; you can do all things, fill all things, bestow all things, leaving only the wicked empty-handed. Remember your mercies, Lord, and fill my heart with your grace, since it is your will that none of your works should be worthless. How can I endure this life of sorrows, unless you strengthen me with your mercy and grace? Do not turn your face from me; do not delay your coming, nor withdraw your consolation from me, lest my soul become like a waterless desert. Teach me, O Lord, to do your will; teach me to live worthily and humbly in your sight; for you are my wisdom, who know me truly, and who knew me before the world was made, and before I had my being.
Amen.
– Thomas Kempis
