Spiritual Women

Consider this: Did you choose the situations you were born into?

Life being a game of chess, not checkers, we have to think in terms of strategies, tactics, and the importance of planning several steps ahead. Strategic mindfulness and emotional freedom come from not wasting our valuable time; and learning from wisdom.

They are supposed to believe that women can do anything and also surrender everything to God.
