Persevering

Persevering explores the thoughts and conflicts of someone with a chronic illness who also happens to be a Christian and works for one of the largest Christian organizations in the world. A chronic illness affects everything in life; relationships, dating, career, family, friends, you name it. Persevering also looks at the fight and race of life when lifeâ s obstacles and unforeseen circumstances are thrown at you time and time again.
