today's convo: don't quit

i dont know the man's name that spoke at convocation today, but i think God used him in the right time with the right message. It's near the end of the fall 07 semester, final exams are coming up, and i'm sure people are being tempted to just quit. However, the message was to persevere through struggles and to not quit. He gave examples such as Joseph and Abraham Lincoln. A lady tried to seduce Joseph, but Joseph replied no. The lady lied to her husband and said that Joseph raped her, and he was put into prison. Joseph didn't worry that much and wasn't that upset, he realized he can't change the past and looked forward to the future and chose to persevere. Abraham Lincoln was deafted from the senate and congress many times since his early 20s and he finally became president at the age of 51; that's true perseverance. I must persevere and have a desire to not quit just like these two men. May God give me the strength tod o it, because i dont want to quit school quit on love life or anything.
