About

“The side door is rarely the most appealing entrance. We feel more deserving of the front door, a red carpet kind of entry. But God gently leads us through unexpected side doors. He wants to navigate the forks in the road for us so He can refine us as He sees fit. Sometimes that’s just what we need, even if it isn’t always what we want.”
