During the time-of-which-we-do-not-speak, I clung to these verses (from The Message translation of the bible, which rocks) like a little grape on a vine. I still look at them daily:
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!
Isaiah 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time.
Habakkuk 2:3
