Adversity Is Not The End
Though the fire burns, It will not consume me Though the flood rises, It will not drown me Though the wind howls, It will not stop me Though the lightning flashes, It will not blind me Though the storm rages, It will not engulf me Though the lava encircles, It will not entrap me Though Continue reading
