Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.

—Corrie Ten Boom, The Hiding Place

I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Maybe a few had an inkling, but for the most part, no one knew 2020 would be like this. What a great reminder that only God knows the future, and therefore only God knows how to prepare you for the future. I love those words by Corrie Ten Boom, and they always come to mind when facing challenges, hardship, or situations I wouldn’t choose. I think: This is preparation for a future that only God can see.

Today I want to share with you a few experiences that gave me a heightened sense of urgency about The Second Mile, and why we need to be prepared. Join me here for Episode 4
