"I'm too old to start over; I wasted my prime years on something that failed."

IT IS WRITTEN the Lord gives me strength like the eagle's, renewing my youth. This isn't the end; this is the SETUP for a greater beginning.
The Father isn't checking your birth certificate to see if you still qualify—He's looking at the COVENANT, and it has no expiration date. While you count the years you think you lost, He's counting the WISDOM you gained, and He's about to use both for a harvest that defies natural timelines.
