I believe that our tribulations are in a relationship with our perseverance to produce the outcome

of our destinies.

Now when you can understand this, then you know the runnings.

Now what does it mean to know the runnings?

It means to understand our root, the trail, the path that we are on in this journey of life.

Imagine if every tribulation you find yourself in, you are able to generate excitement because

you knew the runnings.

Of course you're still going to feel resistance, pain, struggles of the tribulation because that's

the purpose, right?

We're here to learn, we're here to feel, we're here to grow.

But at the same time, if you had the self-awareness to have faith, excitement, you would grow from

the stage of tribulation with grace.

Now we see tribulations as a dark space in our life, a time of uncertainty.

A place we don't want to be in.

But my mentor Bob sees tribulation in an interesting way.

Bob sees it as a time to dance.

He says, forget your troubles and dance, forget your sorrows and dance.

I wish I could play the song because it's just so beautiful, but Apple and Spotify will

kick me off.

But you see, he says, oh, what a tribulation.

Giving glory to the tribulation because the tribulation breathes into our perseverance.

Perseverance is the dance through our tribulations.
