jesus giving-up mean
Abide in Jesus, the sinless One - which means, give up all of self and its life, and dwell in God's will and rest in His strength. This is what brings the power that does not commit sin.
mean winning media
No, 'cause, I mean, the expectation for me is I'm gonna try my best to win the tournament. But it's the people that sort of are in the media, are in the press, and the people that read it are the ones that, you know, see the expectation getting bigger or greater or, you know, how my performances have been going, whatnot.
couple mean space
I had to pay an incredible amount to get insured on it and, after a couple of weeks of driving it around, I realised it wasn't quite my style. I'm not flash by any means but a bright red Ferrari is a definite head-turner and I hated that. It was also incredibly impractical, particularly when it came to finding space for a friend or for my tennis bag, so I decided to sell it after a few months.
prayer mean abiding
Abiding fully means praying much.
giving important fortunate
I'm incredibly fortunate and it's important to me to make sure that I give back where I can.
want range broads
I decided at the outset to invest in a fairly broad range of businesses, as I didn't want to get pigeonholed into one sector.
real believe opportunity
Since there are a wide range of entrepreneurs fundraising at any given time, I looked at each opportunity as it has arisen and on its own merits. Then I've sat down with my financial advisers, we've looked at the numbers and gone for the businesses I believe have real potential.
loss way succeed
I fully understand that not all of the companies will succeed and that there will be losses along the way, but this is very much the norm with early stage investment.
dog doors my-family
As soon as I walk through the door and see my family and the dogs, I feel relaxed.
team simple meals
Every week I'll be spending money on flights, accommodation, stringing and even things as simple as taxis, meals out and, of course, paying the other members of my team. I'm still very careful, though, with what I'm spending.
odds shining cost
I'll never pay above the odds for something if there's a more cost-effective alternative, so I guess that's where the saver in me shines through.
my-family family-life centre
Owning a property is great as that's my base and the centre of my family life.
I'm on the road so much that I don't get to spend as much time there as I would like.
dog sweet brother
I guess the closest I came was doing chores around the house to earn pocket money. My brother and I would have to do the washing up, cleaning around the house, walking my grandparents' dog, lots of things. We didn't get a huge amount but it was always enough to be able to walk down to the local shops and get some sweets.
