Maybe you're frustrated because you want to know the future now. But maybe you're not ready for all of that yet. Let's focus on today - God's leading for this 24 hours. His macro will for your life is made up of a thousand micro wills - a day at a time. So you stay on the path that leads to God's ultimate best; the day at a time path. http://truewoman.com/?id=1162 2010-09-08T11:21:48-05:00 I think all birthdays and holidays should be spent together.
