IN BETWEEN
The Circumstance and the Response

SOUL TATTOO: The space between what happens to you and how you respond to it will shape who you become.

 What happens in the “in between” reveals who is really leading our lives.

“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” - JAMES 1:19-20

“Don’t let the first emotion make the final decision.”
