Sirach 15:  If you trust in God, you too shall live, …

Corinthians 2:  What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,…

    Genesis 18:  One of them said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a son."

    Colossians 1:  It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

    Life is not one choice. It is a series of many choices. It is not one stage or phase or decision. It is many of them. And it is out of all those things that we become the fullness of ourselves.
