Do you ever have those times when you want to tell God, "Hey, that's it. I just can't handle this anymore!" Do you ever have those times when you just want to throw the towel in and say, "You know what, I don't care anymore. I'm giving up because I don't want to fight anymore." If you're having those thoughts right now, DON'T GIVE UP!!! I had a friend a few months ago who was going through one of the toughest times in her life. She asked me why things always happend to her (and trust me, things usually do happen to her). I remember telling her that the people who have the biggest call on their life go through the most traumatic experiences in their life. It's the devil's way of trying to stop them. So maybe you're going through one of the hardest times in your life. I know I am. But you know what? We can't let the enemy win. The harder we get hit, the more we should want to get up and fight again. . .and fight harder.
Have you ever see the movie Rudy? There's a scene where Rudy, a very short, unathletic football player is treated like a dummy by the first string Notre Dame football players. He gets tackled left and right. He even gets severely injured a couple of times. But no matter how hard or how many times Rudy gets tackled, he jumps right back up and goes at the bigger players again just so he has a chance to dress for the first string team one time. We should be like Rudy. No matter how many times we get hit, we gotta get up again. Don't let this be a time when you give up on God or your faith. CHOOSE to not give up. CHOOSE to fight harder. CHOOSE to overcome and win. CHOOSE to be victorious today. |

Yeah Rudy ! Lord give strength to choose, strength to overcome the voices that say give up. Lord bless Kris with a great week and strength of heart and flesh. Let your voice be strong in her, even in the midst of finals. Be her comfort, and let her be a comfort to those around her. Let her now grow weary, but give her your holy hugs. Lord i just declare that you will raise up in her heart the right words, places to study, and a mind that flows to just the right answers. Let this last week and a half be a time of victory! Let it be a gift of peace in the midst of all the craziness of finals. Hold her close as she sleeps, and give her times of rest this week. Amen, Amen, and Amen!!! |

| Amen! Bless Kris this week ( and always). Give her discernment and revelation as she studies and takes finals. Strengthen her to do "the right thing" even when she doesn't feel like it. Give her that " I think I can "mentality of the "little train that could". God bless you Kris!! |
