Fight the good fight the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you….
1 Timothy 6:12
There are things that you’re believing for—you know God has planted those seeds.
The start is exciting, and the end will be rewarding; but the truth is, the middle can be messy.

Over time it’s easy to give up and think, “There are too many obstacles.
It’s never going to happen.”
When you study the heroes of faith, one common denominator you’ll find is that they had faith in the middle.

They stirred their faith back up and believed that the promise would happen.
Now do your part as they did—have faith in the middle.

With children being so tech-savy, often I am the student and they are my teachers. Has teaching changes the way I think ? Yes, most certainly. My students have shown me how to manage time. I marvel at how deftly they juggle sports, academics, dance, and theatre, for instance. I have learnt how to accept failure as I see my students taking success and failure with equan...
