God has ways of developing our spiritual muscles. As with any muscle-building, it’s often a difficult journey to get the desired results. Sure, God builds us through prayer, Bible study and His presence in our life, but my faith building has not always been that pleasant of an experience.Tests, Temptations and Trials are not fun, but God uses them to shape our character.
Be willing to make decisions. That’s the most important quality in a good leader.— General George S. Patton
A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion.— Chinese Proverb (Author Unknown)

- St. Mark the Ascetic, Homilies
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.— King David (Psalm 145:18-19)
