Within a moment there is monumental potential. That is the mystery of a moment. It is small enough to ignore and big enough to change your life forever

It is amazing where God will take you when you are willing to follow. Life is full of surprises when we choose mystery over security.

We are all hypocrites in transition. I am not who I want to be, but I am on the journey there, and thankfully I am not whom I used to be.
