Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this season of uncertainty, it feels even more important. I keep asking God to change my heart if what I want is not what he has for me, but the pull just keeps getting stronger. I am certain of what I hope for. It’s a struggle to be just as certain that He will provide it. But He is faithful even when we are not. Thank goodness!  So we will praise Him in the storm...and wait. #faith #waitingplace #godisgood #hewillprovide
