Take Off Against the Wind
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” (Henry Ford)

What’s Going Against You Will Help you Soar
However, what if the things that seem to be going against you might be helping you to gain strength, power and resilience to help you take off in order to ultimately be able to soar perfectly with the wind? 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, “His power is made perfect in weakness”.
