Katie's prayer: Mary Mary's "Can't Give Up Now"

I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me

A few weeks ago, this was my theme song. Any time I sat down to work on NCYC stuff, I would put this song on repeat to remind me that it was almost over and I couldn’t give up. It worked, I survived and I didn’t give up. In the past 2 days, I’ve heard this song 2-3 times. Every time it popped up, I was reminded of my last minute NCYC hecticness and thanking God for helping me survive. It wasn’t until last night that I realized that maybe God was trying to send me different message from what this song meant for me during NCYC.

NCYC may be over, but my other jobs aren’t. I think there’s a part of me that just really needs a break after all the work these past few months. But Christmas break isn’t here just yet. The hard work isn’t over, in fact it’s really just beginning. I just can’t give up now.
