Focus of the Year:
1. CREWS

Commitment is a little word that makes all the difference. It changes everything
– Don’t give up just shy of missing your goal
– When difficulties in life happen, we want to run to God and not give up
Every time you quit shy of your goal, it affects your confidence
– Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you have set it in has left you
