        <title>5 Smooth Stones.</title>

        <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://getoiling-7417-fast.b-cdn.net/images/7417-61f5e6b492c69.jpg"> &lt;div id=&quot;isPasted&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;These last few years has felt like the world has been been dominated by Goliath. I&amp;#39;m sure, whether a believer or not, most people know of the story of &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;David &amp;amp; Goliath&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;David conquered something far bigger than himself. Much much bigger. He went into battle with only 5 smooth stones. He came out a victor because of his 1 smooth stone but what wasn&amp;#39;t seen was the armor of courage he had through his faith. He believed he would.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;Now I don&amp;#39;t know about you, but I do believe. I grew up going to catechism &amp;amp; saying the Lord&amp;#39;s prayer before bed every night. Truth be told I barely understood much from my catechism because it seemed so deep with not enough for an elementary child to understand.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;So over the years I drifted from what seemed was too hard to understand. But always had my faith intact because I have witnessed my prayers answered. However I was not giving enough gratitude to them as I rushed busily through life. Complacency really.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;I&amp;#39;m sure like many the last few years, as we all spent time away from the things would have normally been doing, we&amp;#39;ve reevaluated much. I was also craving more peace. Ironically enough, at the beginning for this whole world changing event, I had a very odd sense of peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://getoiling-7417-fast.b-cdn.net/images/7417-61df8fe7c6deb.jpg"> &lt;div id=&quot;isPasted&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;What in the actual heck happened to 2021?? I am really not sure. All I know is....I didn&amp;#39;t get accomplished all I thought I would. That only means one thing,....there&amp;#39;s more to do in 2022.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know if you are in the same boat. But we can be honest here. We all usually have our reasons for not getting done what we had planned. Sometimes that are valid reasons. Sometimes it&amp;#39;s because we didn&amp;#39;t do it. Plan &amp;amp; simple.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;What I realized though, is that many of those reasons the things you had planned to accomplish didn&amp;#39;t come to fruition is because you likely didn&amp;#39;t truly believe you could achieve it. Why? Why is it that many people, especially women, will set a goal &amp;amp; follow it up with a comment under their breath....&amp;quot;I guess....I will give it a go &amp;amp; see how far I can get. It would be super cool but I won&amp;#39;t hold my breath though&amp;quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;Can you hear it?? Can you hear the instant FAIL as soon as those words hit the air? Why?? &amp;nbsp;Wanna know why?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; color: rgb(184, 49, 47); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

Just as we got there, sky was dark &amp;amp; a downpour hit. We&amp;#39;d been praying for rain around here so we sat in the truck &amp;amp; enjoyed the loud thunder &amp;amp; rain pelting the truck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&#039; font-family: &quot;Segoe UI Historic&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(5, 5, 5); font-size: 15px; text-align: left;&#039;&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot; style=&quot; font-family: inherit; text-align: start;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&#039;font-family: &quot;Cormorant Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&#039;&gt;When it passed, stillness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&#039; font-family: &quot;Segoe UI Historic&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(5, 5, 5); font-size: 15px; text-align: left;&#039;&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot; style=&quot; font-family: inherit; text-align: start;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&#039;font-family: &quot;Cormorant Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(192, 41, 66); background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);&#039;&gt;Smell of the rain, ...amazing.
