Because even when I have lost something I worked hard for, and suffered though, and believed in my heart of hearts that I would get, I have found that what was prepared for me was something much greater than I could have imagined. Faith has allowed me to see things clearly.”

You can’t run and bike simultaneously, and you can’t do a plank and a shoulder press at the same time.
