If you stumble at mere believability, what are you living for? Isn't love hard to believe? Don't you bully me with your politeness! Love is hard to believe, ask any lover.

Neglected but Undefeated I stand today living the life I was told I would never live all because my faith grew. ↗
In some ways I admire Aunt Helen's unwavering certainty in God's divine plan. It must be comforting, to have faith like that.
