I came across this poem the other day in a Woman's Day magazine. I think it's a very powerful poem, especially considering what's happened to our family recently. I now have it hanging on our refrigerator door as a constant reminder to "Never give up!" I thought it might inspire you, as well.
Thinking
by Walter D. Wintle
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of this world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in a state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!
I have to share a little story with you. We got out of the house for a little while last night and when we pulled into the parking space, I noticed a car behind us had writing all over it's windows. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it read, "Remember God's Promises!" I, literally, got goosebumps on my arms! I felt that was God's way of letting me know that everything was going to be just fine! Chris already has an interview scheduled next week with one of his previous employers in Portland, OR. Part of me thinks that sounds so exciting to move out to the West Coast, but part of me is a bit hesitant to entertain the idea. I've lived here in the South all my life, so it would be a huge change for all of us. Guess I just need to keep trusting and go wherever God chooses to lead us. See ya soon!

Hello, I'm April
Welcome to my blog! I'm, originally, from Arkansas (Go Hogs!) and my husband is from South Carolina. We met on a blind date in December of 1988 and were married 10 mos. later. Crazy, I know! We have two beautiful daughters, who make life fun, exciting, and challenging! I look at every day as an adventure and an opportunity to laugh and to learn. You will soon discover that my family and my faith are at the heart of who I am. Stick around a while, won't you?
