One of Irene’s favorite artists is CeCe Winans, www.cecewinans.com.

Last Saturday evening it was a JOY to behold Irene dancing with enthusiastic rhythm, JOY and liveliness to the song “It ain’t over” ….!!!!!!!!!  My only regret is not having a video camera on her!!!!!!!

So you got a bad report
And it doesn’t look good to you
Put a praise on your lips
This is what you gotta do
Speak to your situation without hesitation
God gave me this revelation just for you

(bridge 1)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
No matter what you’re going through
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
God’s gonna work it out for you
If you can believe
It ain’t over
Trouble don’t last always
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)

So you gave it all you had
And you still came up short
You been faithful through it all
And you answered the call
Keep your eyes on the prize
Don’t give up the faith
God has a plan for you
That’s why we say

It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Weeping may endure for a night
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Joy’s gonna come, joy’s gonna come
It ain’t over
If you just believe in the morning
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over

(bridge 2)
Whose report will you believe
God has spoken
Will you receive
Oh, it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)

It ain’t over (ooooh yeah)
Said it ain’t over
Saints hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
If you just believe it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)

(bridge 2)

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Listen (It ain’t over)
Said it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Trust me (It ain’t over)
I know for myself it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Oh it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
I believe it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It’s just getting started (It ain’t over)
You gotta believe it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
I believe (I believe He’s got better things for me)
I believe (I believe He’s got better things for me)
I believe (I believee
Tell yourself I believe (I believe He’s got better things for me)

Oh yes, it ain’t over
This is just a test of your faith
(It ain’t over)
Won’t be like this always, just believe
(It ain’t over)
Don’t give in, don’t give up, you can make it, hold on
(It ain’t over)
Cause there’s a blessing in your storm

I believe
(I believe He’s got better things for me)
Speak to yourself
(I believe He’s got better things for me)
Proclaim it
(I believe He’s got better things for me)
Shout it out loud
(I believe He’s got better things for me)
Yes He does

It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)

Clap your hands (It ain’t over)
Cause it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Stomp your feet (It ain’t over)
Cause it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Do your dance (It ain’t over)
Cause it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
You gotta believe it (It ain’t over)
Cause it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Keep praying (It ain’t over)
Cause it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Keep hoping (It ain’t over)
Cause it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
God said it (It ain’t over)
And it ain’t over (It ain’t over)
It ain’t over (It ain’t over)
Yeah yeah yeah (It ain’t over)
Ay, ay, ay ohhhh (It ain’t over)

(It ain’t over)
(It ain’t over)
(It ain’t over)

Dance along with the beat and you’ll learn why it inspires her ….!!!!!

Irene is pictured above @ UCSF in pre-op early this morning.  The procedure went well and the Cimino Fistula is now in her right arm.  The arm is very sore, she’s on a pain reliever, but is resting comfortably at home.

Irene’s smiling and optimistic spirit continues on the amyloid journey because “it ain’t over”.
