"He's in the waiting / He's in the waiting / Hold onto your hope / As your triumph unfolds / He's never failing / He's never failing / Sing praise my soul / Find strength in joy / Let His Words lead you on / Do not forget His great faithfulness / He'll finish all He's begun / So take courage my heart / Stay steadfast my soul...Sing praise my soul / Find strength in joy Let HIS words lead you on /  Do not forget HIS great faithfulness / He'll finish all He's begun / And YOU who hold the stars / Who call them each by name / Will surely keep YOUR promise to me / That I will rise in YOUR victory /  Miracles happen when we fix our eyes on Jesus Christ" ~ "Take Courage", Kristene DiMarco

Nietzsche: "The time has come to plant the seed to his highest hope. His soil is rich enough for it. But this soil will one day be poor and weak; no longer will a high tree be able to grow from it... I tell you: one must have chaos in one, to give birth to a dancing star. I tell you; you will have chaos in you. Alas! The time is coming when man will give birth to no more stars... Behold! I shall show you the Last Man." ~ Thus Spoke Zarathustra

"Go forth with praise, knowing you’re surrounded by the King of Kings. May you be aware that the battle is not against people. May you pray for your “enemies” not because you think you “should” but because you recognize they’re not your enemy. May you put on the full armor of God: 

"...His truth, His righteousness, His peace, His Spirit, Salvation through Him, faith in Him. Then give Him the glory for the breakthrough when it comes."
