When Life Doesn't Go As Planned

Nothing is going like planned.

Thankful

Thankful!







Isaiah 53 (The Message)
 1 Who believes what we've heard and seen? Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?  2-6The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
   a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
   nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
