You Can Be a Victor
Hi friend. Are you victorious? When I ask that, what comes to mind? I used to feel defeated whenever I heard or saw a question like that. My thoughts ran something along the lines of,” Me? Victorious? What a joke. Just look at this in my life. Look at that. That is NOT what victory…
