All of our lives read like books. As we read our own stories, and the stories of others, we are quick to determine how the story will end. God's perspective is different than ours. He is patient, allowing the whole story to unfold. The best part is that He saves the final chapter for Himself. To leave or view comments about this post please click on "Comments" to your right.

Years ago, Nehemiah left this world.  Before he did, he left a mark on his community and a legacy for us.  The legacy?  Be willing to finish what you start.  How many of us have unfinished rooms in our lives?  Our intentions were good.  We even had a plan to make it happen.  Somewhere along the way, we got sidetracked.  Let Nehemiah's legacy encourage you to get back to work and see it through...to the end.
