Throughout the year if you look back at my blog, I have spoken many times how I would rather stand tall and fight. Rather than roll over and allow the cancer to defeat me, I woke up this morning with this song ringing in my head so clearly. I wondered if I had it in my I tunes collection. What do ya know, it was there so I have routed out the you tube video. It’s the words that ring true in my head, because my blog is about encouragement. That you can. That you WILL. That life will get better that your dreams can be a reality.
Life is like a big merry-go-round,
You’re up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to where you are.
Everybody’s been counting you out,
Where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
[Chorus:]
I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
‘Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won’t accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh
Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there’s a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know wherever the road leads you,
Not everyone’s gonna believe you,
Even though they’re wrong, don’t prove them right.
[Chorus:]
I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
‘Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won’t accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh
I am a conqueror!
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
but you gotta get up!
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
Don’t ever give up!
[Chorus:]
I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
‘Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won’t accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh
I am a conqueror
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But I am a conqueror!
The song speaks of moving on from your mistakes, but I want to use it in your battle. What ever that may be. Relationship, desease, illness, berievment, some sadness in your life. This post is for you, to tell you, to proclaim that you can over come. That you, yes you are more than a conquerer. In life we all come across the hurdles that try to make us fall on our face, and yes sometimes we do find ourselves flat on our faces wondering what the hell just happened. But there is beauty to be found in this situation you find yourself in. Because if you find yourself on the floor, there is only one way you can go from there and that’s up. To stand and face what’s to come, to stand tall and be a conquerer. It is of course but a choice and it is up to us to start again. Today is day 366+ since my BMT now I am starting to believe I will be cancer free forever. That all the prayers, kind messages of faith love and hope have given me the strength to conquer cancer. Given me the strength and passion to defeat the evil that is cancer.
I want you to know, that even if you feel you are unable. That right there is where you show your fellow man your strengths, because when we feel we are not able to carry on, that right there is when we are able to show just what we are made of. That’s where the true winners are, at the end of the rope. They are the ones that tie a knot in the rope and dig in, I want to encourage you today. That what you think is impossible is possible, that you can. That YOU are more that a conquerer.
I truly believe that you can, and I hope that you choose to stand tall today.

I find myself today retiring to your blog to find some words of encouragement. I came to know of a dear friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the age of 80 I don’t have much information yet. I am afraid to call. Then I remembered your blog the “Conqueror” and the song. I think sharing it with him.

I am that lucky person Rose Bacchus, above, refers to. It is dear friends – Rose at the the top of that list – a handful of dear in-laws, and my beloved Richard who keep me going. I’m fortunate to have Rose within driving distance but most others are across the country, faithfully calling to strengthen me and make me laugh. Yes, I get down, yes, I know what the %s are, yes I cry. But my support circle is always there to fall into the arms of when I need that, and shout Hooray with me when I win a round.
Thanks for your blog Fonz – and thanks, Rose, for the link ….

Blessings to you Fonz. 366+ is something to be celebrated. My Mom fought the good fight for 9 months back in ’83. She became a conqueror because she epitomized what it meant to not give up..even up to her last breath
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road your trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile; but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit,
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.

And finally my favorite scripture verse: Isaiah 40:31 (NLT)
But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
