To see and share and be with Him even when we don't feel it. There is a deeper joy found in this somehow. In living into the truth that Christ transforms worry through trust. We are waiting on Him, but maybe He is waiting for us to just ask? Thank you for such a lovely, heartfelt post.Christina Hubbard - Creative and Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970385606955335661noreply@blogger.com
