be moved no matter what , whether they ’ re navigating one of the biggest challenges they ’ ve ever faced or a shocking shift , an unexpected transition , or a dark night of the soul . I had one friend who , in the middle of some of her greatest pain , said , “ Where else would I go ? What else would I do ? Jesus is my everything .” Does that mean that the road was peaceful and easy ? No . Quite the opposite . Her pursuit of Jesus was what kept her from shattering into a thousand tiny pieces in her darkest hour . Her unwavering love of God was constant even when nothing or no one else was . and set you apart . We finish our race on this earth not by coming in first but by staying in our lane and enduring until the end .

When your Red Sea stands in front of you , or when leaving all you ’ ve ever known is the right choice , or when you ’ re left picking up the pieces , wondering what just happened , the choice to persevere will transform you
