The number one spot on a podium is the ultimate example of perseverance...or is it? A friend of mine told me recently she was no example of perseverance as she fought depression day and night, with the help of medication. A businessman sat at my kitchen table, bemoaning the fact that he wasn’t successful yet because he had worked hard for decades and still wasn’t rich. I watch people walking on the pavement going about their daily lives as my car passes them, and I see my exhausted face mirrored in those of many at checkout queues and wonder... What is perseverance really? is it the extreme success story that makes headlines? Or is it each and every one of us who stoically lifts one foot up and then down, plodding through hard times, mediocre times, good times. People who choose to stay and love and work even though life is not the fairytale they thought it would be. This issue, these quiet heroes are MY heroes and heroines. I applaud each one of you and pray, “that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul - not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us.” Colossians Editorial Team 1:11-12(MSG) Ian & Adie Wilsher Tamryn Davy Margi Grobbelaar Tava Gwanzura Bobbie Rapson Graphic Design Kirsty Venter Please send all correspondence to Address: No. 8 Coltman Road About The Christian Counselling Centre We are a Registered Trust.
