In the video a runner slated to win the 400 meter race, goes down with a torn hamstring, 250meters from the finish line. Despite his pain and tears, he was determined to finish the race he started. It also shows the love of a father, seeing his son down and comes to help him finish the race. Looking at this, it spoke to me on many levels. Determination, Endurance and Faith came to mind. It also reminded me of God's love towards us. When times get rough and the pain is beyond what we can bear, know that our Heavenly Father sees all, and will step in at the right moment, before you give up, when you just can't take anymore, and help you cross the finish line.

DAILY INSPIRATION
************************************
Transformation...
************************************
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
~Richard Bach~
************************************
There come defining moments in our lives, when it may seem as though our entire world as we know it, has come to an end. What has always worked in the past, no longer seems to work for us. Relationships that we felt would last a lifetime, are suddenly taken from us forever. Or, we simply feel that we can't go on another day the way that things are. That is precisely the moment when we can be changed, and transformed, in order to become all that we were meant to be. As we wrestle to break free from those bonds that seem to envelop us, a "suddenly" can occur, when everything comes into focus, and we recognize exactly who we are, why we are here, and to Whom we belong. Take heart if you are at that moment today...look up to where your help truly comes from...and be prepared for your "suddenly"!!!

"K.I.N.G. CAMP"
T.I. held a 12 week summer camp titled K.I.N.G. CAMP aimed at uplifting inner-city youth. Awards in conduct, leadership, sportsmanship, and academic achievement were giving at the end of the camp. The mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed and the Ambassodor Andrew Young, attended the end of camp ceremony. In the video below, TI speaks to the campers about working hard and not always seeing immediate results, but at some point in life you will, and at that point you will understand why the work you did then was necessary for you now. He also presented each camper with a brand new laptop computer, not as a gift, but a reward for their hardwork and dedication shown throughout camp. His only request..."take the information and lessons learned from the camp to better themselves."
"It all begins with being a K.I.N.G. of yourself"
