Miracles Still Happen
And, the wait is worth it. Over the multi-years of my life, I have faced insurmountable times of worry, defeat, dealt with problems that couldn’t be solved, health issues that seemed hopeless, and many things that I couldn’t understand. A miracle was needed and sometimes it felt like it was too little, too late, and…
