"But the summer days have come and gone and the winter winds blow chill. Not everything turns out just right according to man's will."
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
