Blessing Quote by Tessa Afshar

“You want what you want, not what He is willing to give. It’s an awkward spot. In my experience, He usually wins. Try to remember, daughter, time does not work the same in the hands of the Lord as it would in ours. Sometimes, out of the delays of life, He calls forth a blessing.” quote by Tessa Afshar
