Some thoughts for this week....

....if my happiness is determined by my character, what is my character?

If my character is determined by my choices, on what criteria do I decide?

If my choices are determined by my values, what do I value?

If my values are determined by my vision, what do I see?



"Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal." author unknown



"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith... Hebrews 12:1-2
