May 9th Living outside of the "what ifs" inspired by @pastorkeion

the "what ifs" is US judging the circumstances based on our experiences and not really trusting in Gods Plan.

we so easily get stuck in the "What if I had, or did not"

No matter where you are or what you're experiencing good/badm KNOW THAT it is all happening FOR YOU not to you
