It was a whopper of a week.

And when I say a whopper, I’m not exaggerating. Things went wrong that I didn’t even know could go wrong. Let’s break it down:

▪️I had my first Celiac attack in over five years – and attack is putting it mildly.

▪️I received a new, rare medical diagnosis. Because I didn’t have enough of those. IYKYK

▪️At said appointment I found out my favorite doctor is leaving.

▪️And then a few things happened that I’m not going to talk about here. Rude, I know.

I had a decision to make: beat the week or let the week beat me. And just so you know, my daddy didn’t raise quitters.

And neither does Jesus.

He modeled that for us all throughout His life on earth. When times got tough He got tougher. How? He prayed. He called out to God. He dug down deep.

He kept His eyes on the prize. And that prize is His Kingdom.

Life’s gonna get hard. And just like Maverick said last week, it may even smack us in the face. But we gots to keep going.

We’ve got to keep going for Jesus.

So ladies, when it all comes crashing down on you – and at some point it will – call out to God. Dig deep. And don’t you dare take your eyes off of the prize.
