Your mind is like a garden. If you do not deliberately plant flowers and tend carefully, weeds will grow without any encouragement at all.” IfsThinkingWayMindBelieveFactsGrowsCausesEmotionWorryFlowerAnxietyGardenEncouragementPlantDeterminedUnhappyWeedConstructiveDefault Author:Brian Tracy

I shine sinks and polish through to the realization that trusting God is my most urgent need.
