Chaos and Crisis

I'm beginning to realize that some of the most challenging times we go through are really the best opportunities for growth. It's these times that the creativity that God has equipped us with really steps up in our lives.

God's desire is not for us to give up, but to look at our situation and ask how we can use our creativity and innovation to rise above and become stronger and even break through into a whole new level of growth.

When your outlook is focused in this way, you can take chaos and crisis and actually use them to your benefit. This excites me, because it helps me realize that trying times, although painful and unpleasant, are an indication that success is only a few small and steady steps away.
