Do you ever wish you had a life map? You know, one that would show what you’ll find when you round the next bend so you can be prepared for whatever you encounter? Life doesn’t work that way.

Because even though WE can’t see what’s coming, God already knows. He’s already there, ready to offer us the strength and peace we need to handle whatever pitfalls the road includes.
