Enthusiasm
Did you ever have a moment in your life when sad things were continually happening, and you found yourself thinking only about your problems instead of about who God is and what he has done for you? I know that I have. Instead of allowing the emotions we are feeling in those moments take over

Endurance
I don’t know about you, but there are things in my daily life that just become monotonous and I don’t want to do them, like cleaning the dishes, vacuuming my floors, or even simply getting up to go to work in the mornings. It can become a battle that I just don’t have the endurance

Creativity
Do any of you have that one person at work that never seems to be doing anything? And then when they do work, it is never done well? A lot of times there is a reason this person is like that. Their under-achievement could be due to simple laziness, but it can also be due
