persevere (.merriam-webster.com)-" : to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement"
I've been hearing this word "persevere" a-lot lately, so I decided to write or create this site today (Sunday, September 27th of 2009). I remembered when I was going to "quit" after my 1st day on the job at Taco Bell my junior year in high school. I said it out loud and my mom told me to "not give-up". I laugh at this now as I look back; however, I wasn't laughing when I said it during my high school days. Just that one phrase "don't give-up" (paraphrase) from my mom was enough encouragement for me. How do you think others may feel when we say this same encouragement phrase to them in times of trials? It's important to "encourage one another" in our daily life.

"September 27th, 1998 - I fell 35-feet into Chester Creek (Duluth) and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Police were called to the creek where three officers risked their lives to save mine. I was hospitalized at St. Luke's Hospital, where I spent 19 days in a coma.
On October 15th, I was transferred to Sister Kenny for rehab at the Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis. While there, I had to relearn how to walk, talk, write, and everything else I had taken for granted. Only through this necessary path to reclaim my future did I learn the value of my Christian Faith, the strength of my heart, God's will for my life, and the power behind humilty, and everything that is possible if you believe! Always remember, KEEP MOVING FORWARD. "

Trading My Sorrows (worship video w/ lyrics)
And we say yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Amen
I'm pressed but not crushed
Persecuted, not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
His joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
