Rest if you must, but you dont 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 must not quit. " Relationships, of all kinds, Are like sand held in your hand.

I know that whatever I ask of GOD, GOD will give me, so why am I scared to ask. I know tomorrow is not promised, so why do I put off for tomorrow what I can do today. I know that the truth shall make me free, so why do I continue to lie. I know He gives us revelation knowledge and understanding, so why do I lean on my own understanding.
