No Challenge Too Great
Peter realized the power inside of him to do great things, even things that seemed impossible. When the impossible becomes possible, there is no challenge too great. Actually, you have the type of power Peter had. I clearly see you working through the day to help your children make it. You have an overwhelming belief that they can achieve greatness and you won’t rest until you feel they have arrived. You are on a mom mission like no other; you won’t give in; you won’t give out; and you won’t give up. Simply put, you’re just plain ole fired up to raise them right. Mothers have power to influence the direction their children are headed. Your children need you to teach them to exude power. Whether they are three or thirty, the quicker they get fired up (like you are for them and like Peter was for Jesus), the sooner they will find their way and make you both proud. Helping your child is worth everything to you. So you are leaving nothing on the table; and there is no turning back. (2, p.17)
