Grab your boxing gloves or your best pair of running shoes. Life can be a constant battle. There's always something that gets in the way; most of the time it's our own selves. Whatever it is or whoever it is, you have to keep it moving. Keep pushing to achieve your goal.

You will win this fight...continue to swing day and night, night and day. You come and go; yet, you won't tire. You can't be defeated. You're stuck in the middle of a race but it's just a test of your endurance. You question if you'll make it up that mountain. It first began with a hill. You wonder how you got so far behind, so deep in a trap concealed by darkness. Yet, you still see a glimmer of light. You keep coming and going like day and night, night and day. You keep running, keep breathing, and keep moving because you won't stop. You can't stop. You will not lose.

You will win this fight. Money in your pockets might be light. But you’re wealthy in faith because you believe without Him in plain view sight. He hears and answers you through your prayers. Leads you down the path, gives you the choice to choose wrong or right. It's not His job to choose, it's your will. So grab your boxing gloves and never give up!
