Better things Quote by Iyanla Vanzant

“My grandma always said, "Trouble is what God uses to prepare you for better things!" If you have trouble in your life, you are in a valley. If you are in a valley, you are being prepared for something bigger, better, greater; something you probably could not handle now.” quote by Iyanla Vanzant
