ring.png : Its not about speed but all about endurance & perseverance to cross the finish line. We are not racing to catch up with those ahead & neither are we racing to outpace those behind us. We strive not to lead but to finish the race; to cross the finish line & to fight until the final round. Keep running until you outpace your past & catch up with who God wants you to be. You've gone to far to quit now. Victory is in sight. Bleeding, hurting or maimed, continue to “fight the good fight, finish the race & keep the faith.” 2 Tim 4:7. We're more than conquerors. Ever onward, ever forward! Press On!
