God has a course mapped out for your life, and all the inadequacies in the world will not change His mind.  He will be with you every step of the way.  And though it may take time, He has a celebration planned for when you cross over the “Red Seas” of your life.

From Philippians 4:4-7:  “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  Let your gentleness be known to everyone.  The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
