May be an image of 2 people and text that says 'Rick Patton 3m WE cannot BECOME what we WANT by REMAINING what we ARE.'
 
There are some of you who have worked hard to accomplish something in life and you won’t move to the next level because you are afraid of how those around you are going to react to it. So, are you moving on for them or for you?
 
Everyone of us are guilty. At some point we all had dreams and set goals for where we wanted to be and when. Then life throws a wrench in it. So rather than try again, we stop.
 
It’s strange this idea that when not successful the first time, we don’t try again. Nothing is immune to it. Even our relationship with the Lord.
 
All of us have friends and family that weren’t as excited about it as we were. If you allow them to keep you down it won’t be long before your eye’ll dim to it too.
 
When those feelings come, don’t quit. Find better company.
 
“Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can got to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles fly with eagles.”
- Myles Munroe
 
It’s time to give it another go.
Baby steps. He is a good Father and though you may stumble and fall, He will be there to help you up, brush you off and put you back in it.
 
“…those who wait on the Lord�Shall renew their strength;�They shall mount up with wings like eagles,�They shall run and not be weary,�They shall walk and not faint.”
 
Let’s give thanks to the Lord today for His goodness and grace everyday.
 
And if the devil gets a poke in the eye along the way, at least hell will know it messed with the wrong one!!!
 
Have a great Wednesday!!!
