Someone says, 'oh, you know what? I'm going to give you a shot to see what you can do', and you've been praying for a promotion, now someone gives you an opportunity, that's a miracle.

God has an extraordinary destiny in mind for you, as he does for all of us. God will never bring you an opportunity before you're ready to make the most of it, and the career world demands that you prove yourself. So, before you can lead, you have to serve. Service often has a negative connotation. We want to be the one at the top, calling the shots, making the decisions, and getting the glory.

Not only is your story your truth, your story is going to be the platform and the foundation for everything that's getting ready to happen in your life.

Don't abandon what makes you who you are. Don't give up hope.

When you get something that you don't work for, you won't know how to value or maintain it.

Don't downgrade your dream to match your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny.

Anything you pray for, you need to prepare for.
