God and You

Are you being the person God wants you to be?
He puts obstacles in your path to see how you will respond. For example:
• Did you find a way to overcome the obstacles and learn something about yourself and others from them?
• Or, did they become roadblocks or excuses for not reaching your full potential?
Here is a list of people who overcame some terrible situations and made our world better for their efforts.
