When all else fails, keep on
moving. Keep on pressing for
the mark, believing that the true
reward lies in the Father’s arms.
Keep on striving for your vision,
speaking things as though they
were, and proclaiming the vic
tory that has already been won.
Keep on taking the promises of
God by force, resisting the devil,
and departing from evil.
When all else fails, keep on
trusting in the Lord and standing
on His everlasting word, know
ing that it is the only way to
defeat the enemy. Faith without
works is dead. Keep on walking
in the will of the Lord and ob
taining His favor, being blessed,
and expecting great things.
When all else fails, keep on
showing mercy, forgiveness,
and love toward one another
and know that whatever you
sow that you will also weep.
In whatever you do, when
all else fails, never give up. Just
be steadfast and keep on mov
ing!

Ladies it’s a new year! Time for
some changes!
I understand that 2002 was the
year when a lot of you lost focus and
forgot your mission, but you have
been given another chance. A chance
to get it right and pick up where you
slacked. You have another chance to
be strengthened where you fell weak.
2003 is the year to remember .
the vision that has motivated and
drove you thus far. Although our
struggles may have varied, our
purpose her still remains the same- '
to enhance our knowledge, improve
our skills, and prepare ourselves for
our future careers. So ladies,
whether your downfall was procrasti- ^
nating with your studies or experienc-'
ing bad relationships, it’s time to get
it together. '
