Facing Giants
FACING GIANTS
Everyone of us face small giants every day, we perhaps handle these moments with clipped words, pained smiles, clenched teeth and deep breaths. How do we handle the giants that are larger than we can imagine? Giants so large we can’t even see the top of their heads, much less fathom the full extent of the damage they are about to do, or are doing, to our lives.

No healthy Christian
No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God’s will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not. Oswald Chambers
Sometimes God allows
Sometimes God allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves. -Joni Eareckson Tada
Character cannot be developed
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. — Helen Keller
