When Daddy’s Away…

Killi

You know the old saying “When the cats away, the mice will play!”

That is the best part about my husband going away for work.

I believe you can pray for something until you are blue in the face asking for a miracle (and sure sometimes it might happen) but without being proactive nothing will change. God gave us a brain and resources at our disposal (heck he created Google, well the guy who made Google…) and it’s our job to use them wisely.
