Today’s Message is: “Stand Alone Day!” Why Not?


“One of the important leadership qualities is the courage to stand alone, stand on your own, and stand for something greater than yourself.

Those leaders stand alone and stand firm because they believe in themselves and their values. Are you ready to stand alone and lead through the challenges ahead?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

https://craigkeener.com/when-you-have-to-stand-alone/Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. There have been times in my life where I thought I was standing alone, but in time I realized that actually, I was not alone; Jesus was right there beside me and at times He was actually carrying me. That reminds me of the Photo of Footprints in the Sand, where you see two sets of footprints and then all of the sudden, there were on one set. Those were the times that Jesus carrie us. I have submitted an interesting link below. Have blessed day today and always, as you find you need to Stand Alone!
