2 Kings 6:16 says, "Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

In 1952, Florence Chadwick attempted to swim the chilly ocean waters between Catalina Island and the California shore. She swarm through foggy weather and choppy seas for fifteen hours. her muscles began to cramp, and her resolve weakened. She begged to be taken out of the water, but her mother, riding in a boat alongside, urged her not to give up. She kept trying but grew exhausted and stopped swimming. Aids lifted her out of the water and into the boat. They paddled a few more minutes, the mist broke, and she discovered that the shore was less than a half mile away. "All I could see was the fog," she explained at a news conference. "I think if I could have seen the shore, I would have made it."

Don't make the mistake of Florence Chadwick. Stay at it!
Stay in the water. Stay in the race. Stay in the fight.
