You're not going to be sure how it's all going to work out, but that is what will cause you to grow, that's when you'll learn to trust God in a greater way.

There is treasure in you, waiting to be developed. Redeem the time. Make a decision to grow in some way every day.

You will go further than you could imagine and become the winner He's created you to be.
~ Joel Osteen
