Ps.130.1-8

As a parent, it seemed there was lots of repetitiveness With my children…saying the same thing over and over….God repeats, but he is so more creative in his choice of words…it doesn’t come out the same way each time…”if they don’t hear it this way, let’s try another” until the truth gets through or we finally hold on tight to the words, taking them into our soul….

Thank YOU…

I will wait for you…
