Perseverance

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, and how you can still come out of it." -- Maya Angelou

Reading the words of the famous Maya Angelou inspires us to keep moving forward, even when we do not think we have it in us to take another step... many of us can relate to this feeling. 

So, what got you through?  

Perseverance is the character trait for February, and the students at the foundation are not discussing it lightly. Many of our students have had to overcome a challenge already in their lives -- challenges that would be difficult for adults. Yet, here they are... persevering in spite of the odds against them.

They know what perseverance means, and they know exactly how to handle it:

Look for God. Find Him in that moment when you need him most. He will be there.


"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." -- Philippians 4:13
