It's just been very slow.
Maria BartiromoThe problem is, if at all, in the different view of the economy, of economic growth. Growth is too low, even for us.

That progress is accelerated when you willingly allow Him to lead you through every growth experience you encounter, whether initially it be to your individual liking or not.
