Posted in Christian Life, Fitness, and Homemaking

Project 365 – #021 I put this vinyl decal on the wall next to my bed. It’s one of the first things that I see in the morning and the last thing that I see at night.  It helps me to remember that God is completely in control, and that anything is possible with the Lord’s help.  I need to put my trust in Him as I try to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks during the week.
