*You can't ignore this, Sometimes GOD sits you down, slows your life, and strips away your comfort, not to punish you, but to rebuild you. He humbles you to strengthen your character, isolates you to sharpen your focus, and then returns everything multiplied so you understand purpose. What feels like breaking is often shaping. Trust the process. Nothing is wasted.*
You need to know this. The catapult teaches a simple truth: to launch far, you must first pull back. In sports, every athlete knows this feeling; the deep squat before the jump, the wind-up before the throw, the stretch before the sprint. Retreat isn't weakness. It's power stored, ready to release.
