Putting our energy and effort into building our strengths and natural giftings will be what allows us to excel. Know when to staff your weaknesses. We often go through seasons in our lives that cause us to wrestle with God. Own the season that God has you in, rather than trying to be somewhere else. Do the hard work of learning how God has created you and who He has created you to be. Hebrews 11:6 Romans 10:17 Learn how to value your own relationship with the Lord.
