Don’t Quit

It had been a long year…there were challenges and obstacles…my hope dimmed as each day progressed…I had hit a wall…and had decided that all that I was doing was a waste…Have you ever been there? No…I mean really been there? Where your hope had turned to ashes and you made the decision that it would be easier to relinquish the fight…to yield…to acknowledge defeat…to declare that you had lost…that the struggle you were in had finally broken you…and you were now agreeing with everything that had wrestled you to the mat…I found myself there one day…life had hurled so many fast balls at me that I had no way to catch them all…I found myself in bed in the fetal position…I was tired…defeated..deflated..too weak to even pray…all that I could do was cry…no eloquent prayers..no warrior cries..just warm salty tears streaming down my weary face..that’s all I had..and do you know what? That’s all He needed…He translated them into a prayer…and He embraced every word that my tears spoke…and He met me in my pain..and He poured His love on my broken soul..and spoke life…and He can speak life to you too…Ladies…here’s what I know..even when the pain is too great to speak…His heart hears our soul…and He won’t let you or me quit…because we are His… His daughters…and He is a good…good Father❤
