Faith Starts When you keep Walking, Even when Nothing Makes Sense
You won’t really see what’s ahead. That’s why the situations around you appear so meaningless because you don’t know the reason why you need to go through those seasons.

Most of the time, He is speaking and leading you to the right path. You just can’t see it because you choose to focus on the wrong perspective. It seems that He is so silent, but the truth is, there’s a big possibility that you just can’t…
