Holding on...

Tenacity is more than hanging on, which may be but the weakness of being too afraid to fall off. Tenacity is the supreme effort of a man refusing to believe that his hero is going to be conquered...Remain spiritually tenacious. ~Oswald Chambers


I am not a quitter. My Dad taught me that you always finish what you start.
Right now, I want to quit so bad.
We got a letter today from IDES that said that our unemployment benefits have ended.
I am numb.
Yet, there is something deep within that keeps telling me, "You've come too far to quit. Pick yourself up and keep running."
The runner in me...
The first born in me...
The strong willed child in me...
The strong woman in me...
The child of God in me...
...makes an effort to stuff the pain of this race down to continue on toward the race set before me.


O God, more than anything, I want to finish the race one of these days and be able to say, "I have kept the faith." If I keep the faith, You will have a crown of righteousness waiting for me!
(Praying God's Word - 2 Tim 4:7-8)


Please remember us in prayer.
