So many times over the last thirty-plus years, I have wanted to quit a project. Either because it didn’t do what I thought it should, or simply because of my lack of patience.

Most of us know our strengths and weaknesses.

I’m great at starting projects. I can see the end from the beginning; I love developing the concept, the logos, the business plan...but I’m a bad finisher.

Mostly, I get bored with the day-to-day stuff; when it’s done, I’m ready to move on to the next project.

Whenever I would get to the point of throwing in the towel, I would be gently reminded that an ocean begins with a single drop of rain. It takes patience and a lot of faith to trust in God’s ability to bring it to pass... but that’s what it’s all about: learning to trust God.

Things don’t always work out the way we expect, but I have found that if you let God establish your thoughts and order your steps, it works out better than you could ever have imagined.

What can I say... God is great and greatly to be praised.



When you think of quitting, remember: an ocean begins with a single drop of rain.
