Look around yourself and you see people, more noticeable then the majority of their characteristics is there confidence. It is something that people can just sense in others. So here is the base of confidence. It will always fail you, no one is perfect and we all struggle and falter. No one is exempt. Yes there are things one can do to improve his odds, to stumble and fail less, yet it is still there. False confidence is something else all together, the man who has given in to believe he’ll never be what he can and doesn’t have the courage to show the world.

Here is the clincher, God will never fail, and He is never wrong. Men run to the ends of the earth to build their confidence in themselves when God is just waiting. He waits for us to put our full confidence in the only confidence that will never fail. The plans of God are flawless from tomorrow’s provisions of food and love, the minor details of life all the way unto eternity in Heaven. So like really is just what the title states, confidence. The only determining factor is where we place ours. Where do you?

For background on the strike please view the articles above from the BBC. It was a very different experience to be a part of. Really makes one wonder if anyone will listen as you walk past hundreds of adults standing nodding their heads. Almost as if they are glad to see the youth take interest in something, and at the same time not really participating. I feel like the photo above captures the general attitude of the strike well, below is a group of people taking advantage of an oppertunity to take out hurts against the government. Cutting down the French and EU flags from the City hall and then trying to raid the building before being repeled by the cops. I’m not completely sure, but believe that the end incident was actually an act by the communist party of France, and wasn’t associated with the CPE strike. See the photo below for the falling cut up french flag off of the capitole building.
