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. in the way of God's commandments; which shows great affection for them, haste to obey them, delight and pleasure, cheerfulness and alacrity, therein, so as to be without weariness: and they shall, walk, and not faint: Have I said how much I loved this book? No pressure, Haley Cass, but I’m definitely looking forward to your next novel, and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. Oh, to be called a 'smart woman' by Charlotte 😔. Would I kill for it? Yes, (very) possibly. I was very close to the point where I needed to put my asthma pump into use because of how much this book made me stop breathing. Some moments are just so perfectly written and articulated, it just concerns me that I've never read anything so utterly wonderful before. And yes, I'm talking about Charlotte's dirty talk, duh. This calls on the strength of humility, self-control, and generosity. In other words, patience isn’t just one fundamental characteristic. It’s robust and complex and fuels our faith. We are given opportunities daily to practice it. At work, at home, with your kids, with your neighbor. Biblical references to patience and God’s will.

Now, from these very significant, very valuable extracts, you can tell that Charlotte is hot in everything she does. She scratches and bites and it drives everyone crazy. If it doesn't drive you crazy, there's something wrong with you and you should be worried. The number of times these girls had their hands on the other's thighs, had me screaming and melting. 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; they shall walk, and not faint. And it's sexy! Intensely re-readably sexy! Like clutching my Kindle to my chest, whining sexy! I love the details and communication. I'm a burnt cupcake because it all set me aflame, thank you very much. The way the author created the two MCs, Sutton and Charlotte, was remarkable for a first time author. She got right into the depth of them, the heart and soul without being cheesy. The nuances of their interactions, humour and amount of emotion was staggering at times. I almost felt that I was sitting with them during some of their intense moments, with my breath catching and all the feels happening. They are two strong, independent and intelligent women, and Sutton's naivete and sweet romanticism coupled with Charlotte's assertiveness, drive and experience leads us to such a power couple that I sure hope Ms. Cass has more stories for them down the line. Along with these difficult passages, the book of Isaiah offers a glimpse of God’s amazing plan to reclaim His people through the arrival of a Deliverer. In the meantime, passages like chapter 40:31 declare God’s promise of provision and victory for those who rely on Him as they wait.but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. In these lines, the poet directly uses the phrase “all things come to those who wait.” Although it’s not identical to the proverb “good things come to those who wait,” it is suggestive of the same outcome. The poem explains that if you have the strength to “watch and wait,” then everything is going to “come” to you. The last lines in this excerpt add an important detail to the concept, though. Sometimes, these things “come too late.” They may come, but not necessarily exactly when you want them to. Though her brain felt like it was short-circuiting again and her breath left her in a rush, she nodded. "I wanted to look nice," she murmured, in place of the voice in her head that belonged to Regan telling her to 'show off'.

Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.This week has felt like a microcosm of my life. My body is weak, but my heart is full– and I have all of you to thank for that. THANK YOU. Have you bought your copy yet?

Sutton was about to nod again even as she felt slightly dizzy with how hard her heart was pounding from Charlotte's proximity. Because - they were just friends. She wasn't Charlotte's girlfriend, trying to impress her with matching bra and underwear. She hadn't been delusional. She hadn't imagined all of the times Charlotte touched her and held her like she was precious.Before she slid her eyes to fix on Charlotte's and her heart pounded in her chest at the heat in them, before Sutton took in another one of those strength-gathering breaths. "So, you know everything. And you kissed me." Why is it repeatedly mentioned that Charlotte is shorter than Sutton? That is literally, unacceptable. In my mind, Charlotte is just a little taller than me, fight me.

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. I’m sorry, darling. I think I’ve spent far too long working today; I mistakenly heard you propose having sex with me.”Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Who looked miraculously not afraid, as she stroked her thumb along Sutton's jaw. "I'm in love with you, Sutton. Terrifyingly, irreversibly, life-alteringly in love with you." 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.
