Sometimes… God’s will can kiss my @$$
In other times in my life, I wouldn’t have even thought about God. I would have thought about how dumb the situation was. I would have had a little pity party for myself. But because I was trying so hard to listen, the simple reality of God’s will smacked me upside the head.

Tag… I’m it!

Watching the miracle of life come from a tiny seed reminds me of the gifts we recieve every day from our Creator.
