Second chances have endings

In reality, you've had more than two. But you chose to ignore what was being offered to you. 

We are forgiven when we seek forgiveness. We can start with a new slate if we seek to correct our ways.

You abused the hand that fed you.

Now, you must suffer the consequences. It might be the only way to make you change your ways. 

I am afraid of what tomorrow would bring you. For sure, you would feel like the world is falling around you. Floods of tears and fears.

God, in His infinite mercy, will provide you with another chance. But even He can't do a thing if you harden your heart.

Please learn from this. The choice has always been yours. 

We will pray for you. And for tomorrow to be over soon.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
