The Cost of the Win I: Reflections of My Journey and What It Cost to Win
()
About this ebook
The challenge to triumph in all of life’s arenas calls for a well-rounded individual. Integrity, character, responsibility, and accountability, yoked with preparation, practice, procedure, and performance, configure the proper foundation. This successful winner now possesses the ability to maintain the achievement.
There is a cost attached to every win! The price paid, the experience gained, the lesson learned, and the completion of the journey are the most essential distinctions one could ever attain. A grace will follow with seasoned maturity and a motive that is equitable.
Tamara Lofton
Tamara accepted the Lord as “Saviour and Lord of her life” at age 18, but in reflection, she hadn’t acknowledged Him about what her total career path should be. Coming from a lineage of educators, she also decided to be a teacher. Music was all that she knew; piano lessons since age 4, played for churches since age 12, trained choirs at age 15, went to college as a Music Ed major, studied voice, became a High School music teacher, wrote gospel songs and commercial jingles, and traveled for 13 years as an organist for an evangelist. She had chosen music, but He had another plan. Somewhere between learning to yield to His purpose, and doing life, something changed! The Lord breathed life into dormant gifts, using her in areas that she had not been professionally trained in. A love for music transitioned into a passion for the word. Basic reading, writing, math, and typing skills, became the catalyst. A genuine love for people surfaced. Her focus changed, and she connected, by becoming a tutor of music, math, and the message of Christ. An author and administrator was born, replacing the career path that she had previously chosen for Herself.
