I have thought about quitting recently more than you can even possibly imagine. But here's the thing: I just don't want to give the enemy that easy of a win any longer.
In my past I have quit school, relationships, goals, dreams and visions because I thought it didn't matter- I, didn't matter. I thought I wouldn't amount to anything. So I became complacent (with excuses).
I became complacent with lack and a poverty mentality by calling it humility.
I became complacent believing if my daughter made it then I didn't care about my own success.
I became complacent with fake joy (love, peace) disguised as tattoos, sex, drinking, drugs and disgusting attention from ungodly men.
I became complacent with being overweight saying I love myself, yet almost dying four times by neglecting my temple.

I became complacent with toxic relationships not choosing to believe that God has a godly man just for me. Nor did I believe I could have deep godly relationships with women so I became my ex-husband's needy hermit.
I became complacent holding the enemy's manual of my life- doing whatever I pleased, saying whatever I wanted and calling it freedom.
I became complacent with laziness & lack of discipline claiming I was waiting on God but just stuck in fear.
I became complacent by walking by sight and not by faith!

Complacency with excuses is like a permanent black eye from the enemy!
BUT GOD! (Sweet baby Jesus, BUT GOD!) swoops in again and every single time with His superman, prince-charming self and His continually working gift of salvation and power! He whispers: Don't you dare quit. I will give you strength. Fight sweetheart, fight! So I stand on and confess Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV)
So if I am going to appear as if I am going down, the enemy will have a black eye and a cut to remind him whose I am! I will kick his "tale" (of lies and deceit about my life with demonic influences and distractions) and fight! I know God will fight for me, but he still needs my participation!
Don't keep getting sucker-punched- I dare you to fight the good fight of faith today! Say it with me: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! (PS 27:13)
It's time to flex and go round after round (after round, after round) and kick the enemy's "tale"!
