What have you been? What are you in the midst of being?
Consider…being guided by a faith that is greater than fear.
A life that expands rather than contracts.

A life that expands rather than contracts.
Consider why you may be having to much to live with and not enough to live for.

Quote from tomorrow’s blog entitled THE EASY WAY OUT IS NOT ALWAYS THE EASY WAY OUT
“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger persons. Do not pray for task equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your task. Then the doing of your work shall not be a miracle. But you will be a miracle.”
