PRESSING ON!

Snippet
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop 

your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to 

surrender, that is strength. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Scripture
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one 

thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching 

forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal 

for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore 

let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything 

you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 

Philippians 3:13-15 NKJV

Song
The Afters We Won't Give Up

Everywhere, everyday
All we hear is, all we hear is
Wait, it's not your time
Just get back in line
And they can try to knock us down
We've got our feet nailed to the ground
If you want to count us out, go ahead
But it's not over yet
We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up
With the clock running down
We're gonna leave our fears and failures all behind
This is our time
We'll reach till we touch the sky
We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't hold back and we won't slow down the pace
We wont let go and we won't call off the chase
We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up! We won't give up!
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up! We won't give up!
We won't give up, we won't give up
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way
We won't give up!

Sentence Prayer
Lord God,
When you give to us your servants any great matter to do. 
Grant us ale to know that it is not the beginning,
but the continuing of it, until it is thoroughly finished

which yields true glory.  Amen   (A New Zealand Prayer Book pg 111)
