Doesn't give up (even though she is tempted)

M gets tired - deep down, will-sucking, faith shaking, soul-rending tired.

The children won't listen to her; I may not listen to her; at times it must seem as though even He has stopped listening to her. I know from conversations with her that she has had enough; she's tempted to give up. Thank Heaven she doesn't. She is a tremendous force for good in our family despite here inner struggles and the demons of her doubt.
