“Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” – Lou Holtz

“You will have

Good times

And bad

Moments that

Make you

And those that

Nearly break you.”

She reminded.

“But you have a

Choice

You can let

Those hard

Moments define

You

Break your spirit

Crush your soul.

Or you can lean

A little harder

On the Lord

And grow a little stronger.”

“Life isn’t always easy

That I know

I’ve been broken

But I’ve found

Strength

Leaned on him

Found Grace.”
