“Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience, and being persistent.”

Billy Graham

As I read and meditate on this quote, it strikes me that all of the “part 2’s” of these statements are choices you have to make in life very intentionally. They won’t happen by accident.  

Did you have an opportunity to learn, grow, and be persistent today? If the answer is no, look harder. The options were there; did you seize them?
