Keep moving forward, if only a little, tiny bit on some days. If you are still trying, you have not failed. And eventually, those baby steps will become, over time, confident strides.
Great reminder, today, sir. Happy RED Friday, everyone!

LTC Stephen F.
I expect that you have gingerly taken baby steps at times during training and that you soared into experience and excelled at multiple skills as you blessed your family, friends and coworkers Steven.
I pray that the you and I are increasing in listening to family, friends and neighbors and that the LORD uses us to demonstrate faith in HIM as we talk with whoever the LORD leads us to, my brother-in-Christ 1SG Steven Imerman.
Thank YOU, Holy Spirit for dwelling with our soul. YOU sanctify each one of YOUR adopted children in YOUR perfect methods and timing. YOU allow us to become familiar with YOUR Word as YOU store in in our soul. YOU cleanse each one of us by the washing of YOUR Word over our soul.
I lift parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who are YOUR adopted sons and daughters to YOU. I pray YOU bless us with wisdom and insight to train up the young ones as YOU have designed them to learn best. Empower us to reinforce their strengths and give them confidence to address their weaknesses and YOU leverage their weakness into strength for YOUR purposes.
I lift medical researchers, EMT personnel, counselors and others who protect this nation from the risk of communicable disease. I pray that YOU bless them with knowledge and insight to develop treatment for coronavirus and immunization to protect from this strain and wisdom to reduce time to develop immunization and treatment from future outbreaks.
I lift border patrol agents, alert work dogs and trainers, and others who protect this nation from deliberate attempts to enter this nation illegally for nefarious purposes [drugs, kidnapping, murder, rape, and sex-trafficking]. I pray that YOU bless them with insight and enable the dogs to alert to interdict stuff coming in and stop people from being smuggled out – especially the sex-trafficked.
I lift this nation, Canada, Mexico, southwest Asia, India, north Africa, Europe, Russia, China and Australasia to YOU. I pray for an increase of respectful and firm diplomacy in international relations including trade agreements, protection for exploited people [sex-trafficked, slave labor, and adoption scams] respect for the faiths in each nation. Enable baby steps to be taken in trust.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THEIR EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this day February 28, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of March. As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contracting Management Agency. It is good to have sometime on my break my friend on Red Friday.
Today's theme "Baby Steps Day"

Good RED Friday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs We are all so impatient, that we forget all projects, all efforts, all accomplishments begin with small steps; likely wobbly small steps. It's important not to give up, not to just look at those small steps but to wait a bit and then look back to see how much ground you've covered. It all counts going forward!
