Just three small words that pack a lot of power. Besides myself, I don’t know who else needs this message.

I’m not sure what you are going through and how you are doing with staying in the race, but “keep a going.”

Those three words were often spoken by Harriet Tubman, the “Black Moses,” who helped hundreds of enslaved people leave the south and escape north to freedom. Some even went north to Canada.

When the travelers grew weary or afraid to continue their journey to freedom, Harriet told them to “keep a going.” She was determined that all who sought freedom would find it. She refused to let anyone give up or turn back to a life of slavery. Her faith in God was strong and she did not lose any of her travelers. Harriet returned to the south many times to help family and friends follow their dream to be free.

I’m sure it was not easy for her or them and there were many challenges to overcome. But she never gave up. So, my reader, I encourage you: no matter the situation or the challenges, follow your heart’s desire and “keep a going.”
