It’s not challenges that shape our character. It’s how we respond to challenges that makes us who we are.

Our choices shape our Character

In the Sierra Nevada Mountains, each juniper is unique, shaped by winter’s icy winds and heavy snows.

As with the juniper, the challenges we face help shape our character. For us, however, it is not so much the challenges that shape us into who we are; it is how we respond to those challenges.

The choices we make when we face the challenges on our journeys will evoke our character and determine how we will stand or bend when the snow thaws.
