-Ephesians 4:29
God wastes nothing.
Every trial, every hurt, every obstacle…it may seem overwhelming at first. We may kick, scream & cry out “Why, Lord?!”… but when we look back we begin to see His Hand in all things.

Now you are free to take big bets.

47 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists.
Two nights later, the Celtics beat the Lakers at the Forum.
In a high-performance system, you must have a tolerance for mistakes along the way.
Mistakes are inevitable—It’s about correcting them, learning from them, and not repeating them.
As you evolve, you’ll make new mistakes, and making new mistakes is making progress in disguise.
