The Larsen Family Story

THE CHOICE IS OURS WHEN THE LORD GIVES US A CHALLENGE….

“In Your Darkest Hour, When

Your back is Against the Wall

and the Only Lifeline you have

is down to its Last Thread…

You WILL make the Defining

choice.

A-Do nothing and hold on to

that Thread until it breaks.

B-Or pull on it like a Mad Man

and Get Out Of There-Trusting

that the Strongest Thread had

Survived.

Faith in the Result is what

allows you the strength to

make the Choice!”
