August 7, 2018

Have you ever made plans and then changed them and changed them again? Been there. Done that. More times than I’d like to admit. And it reminds me of Proverbs 16:9, where it reads: A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. I love how God is the Director of my […]

Rustic Travels
