"I went and looked at one of these great cathedrals one day, and I was blown away by it.

It occurred to me at some point that the story of the building of a cathedral could be a great popular novel."

-- Ken Follett

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” That's a perfect example of trust. Sometimes you can trust and hope that everything is going to be rosy and God doesn't promise that. He promises that He's got our backs and He's prepared a place for us.”
