WITH THIS,(FAITH)
I CAN NOT FAIL!!!
The Larsen Family Story
THE CHOICE IS OURS WHEN THE LORD GIVES US A CHALLENGE….
“In Your Darkest Hour, When
Your back is Against the Wall
and the Only Lifeline you have
is down to its Last Thread…
You WILL make the Defining
choice.
A-Do nothing and hold on to
that Thread until it breaks.
B-Or pull on it like a Mad Man
and Get Out Of There-Trusting
that the Strongest Thread had
Survived.
Faith in the Result is what
allows you the strength to
make the Choice!”
