This quote fascinates me. Do you believe before proof? Has someone believed in you that way? Tell your story.
My parents believe enough in me to have helped me out financially in going back to school. It was a great feeling to show them my GPA and show them their faith was justified! Now I just have to keep it up!
ReplyDeleteAs a parent I would like to think that quote is true of me I can believe in my children before they prove they can do it. It aslo fascantes me. People all the time tell me they believe that I will do the right thing when its a choice to be made
ReplyDeleteI do tend to believe the best about people until they prove me wrong. I'm glad to say most people never do prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteJohn Maxwell is one of my favorites.
Patti, It is nice to have that kind of faith from others. You're going to do fine! :)
ReplyDeleteRed, It is so important to believe in our children, as Patti says above. We are their first line of support.
Jen, I do, too. And yes, I'm rarely disappointed, but on those times .... boy, does it hurt.
