Great meeting with Corlac and Universal industries as they have assured us that they will do what ever they can to assist us in developing the Battle river Ranch Camp.
1 Chronicles 28:20
Be Strong and of good courage.
In 1955 Rosa Parks was arrested in Alabama for refusing to give her seat on the bus to a white man. Boycotts and bloodshed followed until the US supreme court ruled segregation unconstitutional. Later Rosa wrote, Knowing what must be done does away with fea. When I sat down in that bus that day, I had no idea that history was being made and it was all a part of God's plan, I was only thinking about getting home. But I had to make up my mind. After many years of being a victim, not giving up my seat, and what ever I had to face afterwards, wasn't important. I felt the Lord would give me the strength to endure what ever I had to face. It was time for someone to stand up - or in my case sit down. Courage is displayed at unexpected moments, what you do in such moments can change you and those around you.
The story is told of a spy who was sentenced to death by a general in the Persian army. The general had strange custom of giving condemned criminals a choice between the firing squad and "The Big Door", When the general asked what will it be? the spy chose the firing squad. Turning to his aide "they always prefer the known to the unknown, yet we gave them a choice. The aide later asked "What lies beyond the big door" the general replied, FREEDOM. Then he added Few are brave enough to take the door. The dividing line between mediocrity and success is courage. That's why David told his son Solomon upon ascending the throne, Be strong and of good courage.
When men and women are given the opportunities and allowed to discover their: Gifts, passions and purposes the result is a fulfilled life.
If this is not allowed to happen they will in most cases seek after false fulfilment for the rest of their lives.
Individuals that have the skills and confidence needed will always be excited move up to the next level.
