When I was in college I took an economics class that confirmed my decision NOT to major in business. Hi, I’m Lysa TerKeurst for Proverbs 31 Ministries. I couldn't process the micro or macro economic principles. Nothing connected and I was failing. So, I called my Step Dad and pleaded my case for dropping this nightmare class. But, he said, "No, Lysa. If I let you drop this class, I’d be doing you a terrible disservice. There are lessons that can only be learned when you're placed in the crucible of perseverance." It’s true. I know I find myself too often avoiding challenge for fear of failure. Some things may not be easy for us and we may never learn to do them perfectly. But, perfection comes from strengths we knew we had. Perseverance comes from tapping into something inside us we're surprised we had. And that’s worth discovering.
