we must keep on going....

as i was editing this picture, i began to think about the weariness of our life as christians. it sounds so repetitive, but we must keep on going. this fight, this race, this journey takes a toll on you and its about the sheer will to see God glorified in all that we do. i'm reminded by the movie "The Last Samurai", when Nathan Algren is being destroyed by Ujio during a wooden sword game, Nathan keeps on getting up over and over again after Ujio hits him harder and harder every time he gets up. that attitude of getting up and not giving up is the mentality i must have but lack many times.
