Turn North!

     "Either we can be victimized and become victims, or we can be victimized and rise above it.  Often it is easier to play the victim than take off our masks and ask for help.  We get comfortable with our victim status.  It becomes our identity and is hard to give up.  The Israelites often played the victim card, and I love what God finally tells them, "You have circled this mountain long enough.  Now turn north" (Deuteronomy 2:3 [NASB]).
     Turn north! It's time to move on!  Self-pity, fear, pride and negativity paralyze us.  Taking off our masks takes courage, but if we don't do it, we will remain in our victim status and end up stunted."
    -Ruth Graham

this quote has spoken truth into my life so much today.  i hope that it will do the same for you.  if you are fearful of acting upon something - TURN NORTH!  do it.  why are you making excuses and pitying yourself - TURN NORTH! for his strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Turn north!
