THE ANT

THOUGH MY LIFE IS STILL A DAY-TO-DAY STRUGGLE, I AM BEGINNING TO SEE SOME LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. 

I CURRENTLY RENT A ROOM FROM A DIVORCED WOMAN WITH THREE CHILDREN.  LIVING IN ONE ROOM WITH THREE CATS IS A NOVEL ALL BY ITSELF, LOL. 

I AM STILL WORKING IN THE RETAIL BUSINESS, LONG HOURS BUT FEW DAYS, AND NO PAY INCREASE.  MAKES IT HARD TO SAVE MONEY.  

WHEN TIMES GET REALLY TOUGH, I KNOW GOD IS THERE HOLDING ME UP.  HE IS MY REFUGE. 

MY EARTHLY INSPIRATION COMES FROM MICHAEL, WHO NEVER GIVES UP ON ME, EVEN WHEN I FEEL THERE IS NO HOPE, AND WHO WON'T LET ME GIVE UP.  WITHOUT GOD AS MY GUIDING STAR, AND MICHAEL AS THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS, I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY.  I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP LONG AGO.  I PRAISE GOD DAILY FOR HIS DIRECTION AND HIS SON, JESUS, AND THANK HIM FOR SENDING MICHAEL INTO MY LIFE TO KEEP MY CHIN AND MY SPIRITS UP. 

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU OUT THERE THAT HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR ME.  PRAYER DOES WORK...............  

IN HONOR OF MICHAEL, I PRINT THE SONG HE SINGS TO ME WHEN I AM DOWN AND OUT AND THINK I CANNOT GO ON............................  

Next time you're found with your chin on the ground 
There's a lot to be learned so look around
Just what makes that little ol' ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes

He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time you're getting low

'Stead of letting go,

Just remember that ant.

Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
