I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
~Martin Luther King, Jr. ~
Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.
~Barack Obama~
*I love this pic of M.L.K Jr., because it says so much about what kind of person he was and the greatness of his legacy...
Dr. King put his life on the line for the betterment of all people, not just himself..he was arrested, hosed down, had constant threats on his life, yet he still pressed on because his belief and faith was that strong.
Here we are 45 years later and we are seeing the dream live on and enter new heights...
