"You know as well as I do, it is one thing to start something. It's something else entirely to complete it. Relax! 'Don't start what you can't finish' is not my point. To be honest, I don't believe you should finish everything you start. Every student with homework just perked up. There are certain quests better left undone, some projects wisely abandoned. Though i wouldn't list homework as one of them! We can become so obsessed with completion that we become blind to effectiveness. no, my desire is not to convince you to finish everyting. My desire is to encourage you to finish the RIGHT thing.
Certain races are optional. Other races are essential-like the race of faith. Consider this admonition form the author of Hebrews in Chapter 12:1, "let us run the race that is before us and nenver give up."
Finish STRONG my friend." A little story from Max Lucado that I found in an envelope from my friend from home!
This just really encouraged me this week as I was reminded that I am here for less than one month. Continue to pray that Dan, Anya and myself will be filled with God's love and continue to pour out God's love to the Guatemalans and to the 3 teams! Thank you SO much!!!
