There’s an old saying that goes, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going,”  I got to witness that tonight.  I was at a competition this evening and watched a friend of mine having a hard time.  Yet, I also saw perseverance in her that I’ve not seen many times personally.  Even though it was rough trying to compete, she still did all that she could do and I’m proud that she is on my team.  I couldn’t ask for any better.  There will be times when we face trials in life that seem hard if not impossible to overcome, but through Christ we can accomplish much.  Through Christ we do not have to be defeated by any of Satan’s schemes.  Christ has already won the victory over death, hell, and the grave, and if we will trust in Him then we can have the victory over any problem we face; even though there will be some tough challenges ahead.  There may be times you wonder if you can even make it through, but because of God’s grace you can, and because of His grace you can help someone else who may go through the same thing.  “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”  Philippians 4:13.  God Bless!
