Hi Sleevers! As I lurk on the boards everyday, I see so many success stories. Sometimes, I see people who have problems or just want to vent. This certainly is the place to do this! I love to read the forums, good and bad. I feel I'm better prepared for my surgery because of you guys. Now, sometimes, I do have doubts... CAN I DO THIS? WILL THIS WORK FOR ME? WILL I BE SUCCESSFUL? WILL I REACH MY GOALS? WILL I MAKE IT ONDERLAND???? Well, as those questions came to mind, this song also came to mind... It has such a positive message for us, whether preop or post op. After reading Josie's posts, I was kinda shaken, but I appreciate her honestly and the fact that she trusts us enough to share her emotions with us, and I love that she knows that she has a strong support system here on OH. I feel the same way!!

Well, back to my song. It is a gospel song. It's called "It Ain't Over" by Maurette Brown-Clark. Here is the link on youtube if you care to listen:

If you don't care to listen, here are the lyrics!

Verse I
I know the odds are stacked against you
And it seems there's no way out
I know the issue seems unchangeable
And that there's no reason to shout
But the impossible is God's chance
To work a miracle, a miracle
So just know

Chorus
It ain't over until God says it's over
It ain't over until God says it's done
It ain't over until God says it's over
Keep fighting until your victory is won

Verse II
He never said it would be easy
But you're a winner in the end
Jesus defeated all your enemies (even weight!! )
Way before the fight began
But the impossible is God's chance
To work a miracle, a miracle
So just know

Chorus

Bridge
When people say you can't, remember
(He can, He can)
When you don't know what to do,
Please remember
(He has the master plan)
He will free you from your sin
And give you peace within
So hold your head up high
You're gonna win
(You're gonna win)

Chorus

Vamp
Keep fighting, keep praying, keep fasting
It ain't over, no
Keep pressing, progressing, keep moving
It ain't over, no
Keep reading, interceding, keep believing
It ain't over, no
Keep trusting, keep trying, keep travailing
It ain't over, no
Keep living, keep giving, keep going
It ain't over, no (8x)
Keep fighting until your victory is won
