Sometimes, we have to look past the obvious...you know, the here and now to see all the bright things on the horizon in the future. Trusting and knowing God is in control. 🙏🏻✝️

That’s what we have to do in our current global situation. Push 2020 out of the way (shouldn’t be too hard for most of us) and look ahead to hopefully a brighter future in 2021! Happy New Year! 🎉🥂 Wishing all of you a safe, healthy, bright year! 🙏🏻
