I had someone recently tell me that I "love to feel bad, so I have something to write about." Well, I can honestly say I did not take to kindly to this statement.    ( Come on! How would you respond! But I guess to each their own )   literally had to laugh out loud at the conversation. This statement came from a "Christian" who didn't understand Grace, human flaw, or the weaknesses we all have to deal with in life. The sediment seems to have come from a place of ignorance, lack of accountability, and displacement of their own personal issues. ( But all of these previously state things are a conversation for a different day… but the day will come - trust me. ) A thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to torment me so that I would not exalt myself. Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me. Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it would leave me. But

How did the apostle do it? How did they keep going when the fight got rough? How did they manage to remain focused when the world seemed against them? I was once advised by someone I highly respect to start my day with the word. I was then given similar advice from another person who I highly admire. And I true Tiffany fashion, I “did it.” But I didn’t take it in; I just kind of “did it.” Then one day, I needed it - bad. I needed to lean so hard and so deeply on God that I realized at that moment why the advice had been given to me.  It is so hard to be a true and honest Christian in the corporate world. By true I am remaining truth in your faith, that it is foremost the most important thing I have. Honest meaning that I am honest with myself in my actions and words, reflecting the life of a grace-filled person. I hate to say it, but it is the honest truth, every day is a battle and balance act between the profitable growth of the company and doing things the right way. Becaus
