"Hope and faith are amazing things
Something to be cherished and nurtured
Something that will refresh us in return

And they can bring light into the darkest of places
They bend, they twist, they sometimes hide, but rarely do they break,
They give us strength when nothing else can.

"God's delays are not God's denials."
Anthony Robbins --- Submitted by Steve C. --- Canada
I find this quote very comforting when things don't happen the way I expect them to.


When it feels as though the ground beneath you is splitting
And about to swallow you whole
And the mountains around you are crumbling and falling in on you
REACH!
Reach deep into your soul

And when you feel as though you have nothing left
Reach twice as far as before
And only then will you feel the hand
That's been on the other side,
Reaching out to you

And when all has passed
You will know it was He
That pulled you through
