“When the trees and the power lines crashed around you, when the very roof gave way above you, when the light turned to darkness and water turned to dust, did you call on Him?

― Jan Karon, A New Song

“There may be circumstances in this life that God uses to keep bringing us back to Him, looking for His grace.”
