Never Take The Detour

Never Take The Detour

You’ll rarely see anyone post their struggles to success on social media. So moving forward, I plan to share more images like this to keep my beloved millennials from being deceived by this “Kool Aid culture”… i.e. just add sugar and wah-lah “success.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As many of you know, it took two years for our nonprofit The Yunion to fundraise enough money to purchase a 15,000 sft building to expand The Cave of Adullam and our other life changing programs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes it’s a blessing to be seen on TV, but this is the side I really want you to see—the CEO cleaning up debris. Although the struggle does not mean you’re going to be successful, never take the detour when things get difficult or delayed. Always remember, when the vision is bigger than you, the One bigger than you, will help you make it through (Zech 4:10 & Hab 2:2-3)!
