It’s not always an easy place – there’s waiting as you are expectant. Sometimes we aren’t the best at waiting…but without the waiting there would be no room for being expectant….no room for the Holy Twinkling Love to say “just hang in there…I’ve got something AMAZING heading your way.” “Be patient…it’s coming.” “In just the right time, all will be revealed….”
825. That once again it’s all starting to come together
A Beautiful Wander
