So what have I been doing all these years? All I can do is keep trying and hoping. I have known Christ's consolation and I do believe he has challenged me many times but I know I am weak and complacent and I could always do more too. Thanks for this post, even if it picks at me I need it !!Blue Eyed Ennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181985609681328032noreply@blogger.com
