For Today
ourpassionatepatience:

The second my eyes leave the King,
I’m left on the ground searching for things

I often do.But I am realizing it takes moving through the tiny moments for any kind of grand thing to come about. And maybe the grand thing won’t be exactly as we’d hoped for or maybe it will be better. Either...
