Clean water… have you ever stopped to think about how blessed we are to have clean water? I have grown up knowing that other countries are not blessed with clean water the way the US is and thought I appreciated what I have been given. But recently, I have come to realize my actions do not show my appreciation at all.
One night my friend was staying over at my house and as we were brushing our teeth something very funny happened.

I walked forward as He commanded me to but still moved slowly… waiting on Him. He opened door after door and now I am traveling more than I am at home in Nashville. It amazes me!! I just feel so blessed.
