Deep Thoughts: Trust

(Evolving part 2?)
I woke up this morning praying - sometimes God "wakes" me up thinking about someone or something and I know that it's what I need to pray about. Usually, if I'm honest, its the thing I've "worried" about all night in my sleep.

Let's just say, taking a vacation last week let me stop, declutter my brain a bit,

I've also started reading "Choosing to See" by Mary Beth Chapman.

Wow.

Her new memoir, outlining life - especially since that faithful day - May 21, 2008, is in one word - POWERFUL.

It arrived on the right day, and well, God is using it to say SEE...
