.perseverance.

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

there's a million more fabulous quotes i came across when i was double checking my spelling. i found it interesting the word "sever" is in the middle of it which seems so opposite from the meaning of the word. most days in grad school, i am holding on to thin threads, but i am holding on, with hope whispering in my ear to keep going. it's only by my faith in God's grace and providence that i can do this. most days i question whether i'm cut out for this, but i just gotta keep going and remember in my heart and mind that it's never for my greater glory but for His. it may sound cheeky or preachy, but it's how i want to live my life. i just really gotta keep on keeping on. the rewards will come in time, the rest will come in time, the joy will come in time. <3
