Are you striving? To strive means to "make great efforts to achieve or sustain something or to struggle or fight vigorously" (Oxford Languages). As we strive, we keep the central goal in mind while maintaining focus, determination, and intentionality to move ahead. When my family would run 3.1 miles throughout the year, we all had different goals. When I started, I would walk the distance, but soon after, I alternated between walking and running. My goal was persistence, not

STRIKE denotes a "hit, attack, or to take decisive action."   Have you noticed that God has a wheel that never stops turning to produce fulfillment in your life? Be thrilled!

We may personalize what we feel to another by saying, "Thank you." We may express gratitude and appreciation for the many opportunities presented to us.

Bounce is a word that signifies movement. It indicates thought as one hesitates to make the play, as in basketball. The movement in bouncing the ball allows one to think about the play and the target. He/she is considering each run, dribble, pass, or perfect timing to shoot the ball into the basket. The play is not individualistic. It is a team effort, so the player must consider every move. Any misstep can cause the team to lose a point or lose the game.   In life, we have a

Are you losing your drive? Drive allows us to focus on new goals, projects, ventures, etc. It is the motivation or energy behind fulfilling our call or completing a task.
