Again I will hold my opinion. These are just facts.
Changing lanes… new topic.
What beautiful Sunday morning. I am up and have had my tea, breakfast and am ready to begin. My faith in God allows me to have a new path each day. I have learned to regularly put all my troubles, woes, and worries at the base of the cross in which Jesus was nailed. There is no denying He, died for our sins. God raises us up like He did Jesus through His grace. He calms our fears. He lights the path in which we are to follow.
God bless and keep you all. Peace be with you.
