God Will Prepare Us

God Will Prepare Us

When it is God’s time to bring something into our lives,

He will often do it after HE has prepared us to receive it.

He may withhold a place of leadership until He has taught us how to serve.

He may withhold honor until He has taught us humility.

He may withhold possessions until He has taught us contentment.

He may withhold a relationship until He has taught us to be complete in Him.

He may withhold an overflow of finances until He has taught us how to give.

He may withhold guidance until He has taught us what is pleasing to Him.

He may withhold an active ministry until He taught us how to be still.

Anything worth doing , is worth doing right

My friend Kelsey's brother Ryan is in charge of a fitness division with the United States Marine Corp.


Ryan used to work out in the garage and had these pinned up for reminders.

"If its worth doin', it's worth doing RIGHT"  and "More Sweat Less Blood"

I always love home made notes people put up for motivation.
 

If it's worth doin', it's worth doing RIGHT

 

If it's worth doin', it's worth doin RIGHT
