Stories of a Good God
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. (Proverbs 16:9) With a busy day planned, it surprised me to feel a prompt to book in an eyelash tint. It was illogical. I had no time in my day, an appointment to fit would be highly unlikely, and I have an eyelash tint…
