Perseverance



The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.
-- Chinese Proverb

If you have 12 minutes or so, it would be worth your while to check out this video. It tells the story of DJ Gregory, a 30 year-old Georgia native who was born with Cerebral Palsy. He fell in love with the game of golf and dreamt of walking every hole of every golf tournament played on the PGA tour.

In 2008, that dream became a reality. During the season, he garnered the admiration of many throughout the world, but especially that of the players he followed. They saw his determination and persistence and their respect of him grew.

During the season, he fell only 15 times...but each time he got up and pressed on. DJ had this to say to each of us, "If you have a dream, go after it! Don't let anybody say you can't do something." Great advice!

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
Hebrews 10:36
