When you combine persistence with the grace of God, you become a dynamic living force. It’s as simple as that. Stop giving up when the going gets tough, and for once in your life, make it happen.
The quote above is from something I just read at Christian Women Online. Good gracious, how convicting this little quote is. I have not been persistent the past week. I have given up. The going got tough (I am sick, again) and I just…stopped. Stopped working out, stopped eating well. Stopped caring about the goals I set for myself.
Enough. Back to square one. I’m hitting the reset button, and I am going to Make It Happen.

i have been close to giving up a couple times this week too…we’ve gotta just keep plugging along!
