Winter time can be long in the Midwest. There can be stretches where it seems like we barely see any sunshine.
The same can be true in our daily journey. Sometimes it seems like there is never a good break. It’s constantly cloudy, stormy, and dreary.
The picture in the graphic was taken on a July morning on my deck. I immediately thought that the sun is coming and even if we aren’t always able to feel it or see it we need to remember that it is always there.
The same is true for us. The sunshine, the good, is always coming, but it may not be on our schedule. Oftentimes, we just have to keep pushing through the tough times.
C.S. Lewis said, “Hardships often prepare people for an extraordinary destiny.”
Today, if you are going through a tough stretch, don’t give up, don’t give in, and believe that your sunny days, your extraordinary destiny is coming.
It will be worth the wait and you will be stronger and enjoy it even more when it breaks through.
Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
