I was looking through my things when I came across this poem.
Some poems just really hit you hard.....
It couldn't be done.
By Edgar A Guest......
Somebody said that it couldn't be done.
But he with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn't,
but he would be the one who wouldn't say so til he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin on his face.
If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, there are thousands to prophesy failure; there are dangers to point out to you, one by one, the dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle done with a trace of a grin, just take of your coat and go to it; just start to sing as you tackle the thing that "cannot be done," and you will do it.

I love that poem. It reminds me that when the world tells you that you cannot do something important for Jesus you just need to 'buckle done' and do the right thing....
After all the Bible does not say that you will always have an easy time doing what God has truly called you to do!
Hope you have a blessed and very wonderful day.....

Hello Amy,
Thank you so much for your comment.
I have looked at your blog and it looks awesome. I will continue to read it.
Say how did you come across my blog?

Whoops, I just lost my comment. Let me try again.
My brother met some of your family this past summer and they told him about your mom's blog. From there I found a link for your blog. I've actually been reading it for a little while, so I finally decided to comment. :)
Thanks for commenting on my blog!

Hello Amy,
That is so cool how you found out about my blog.
What is your last name? I am trying to find out if I know you and your family.
By the way thanks for breaking the ice on my blog.

Hi Hannah,
My last name is Pentimone. My brother was the only one of my family you would have met. I think the way he met you all was, he came over to your house with a man named Aaron. They picked up you dad and brother and then went to a rescue mission where Aaron was going to be preaching.
Hope that's helpful!
