Have you ever been tapped out? Like you had nothing else to give? I’m sure we’ve all felt this way at some point in our lives. There have been many times when Wednesday come and I’m suppose to post a blog and I’m like, “I’ve got nothing.” But most times, God brings a thought to my mind, just as he did today. It’s been a rough couple weeks but as God always does, be provided. I’m sure he has done the same for you.

I’m sure you’ve seen the movie, Honey, I Shrunk the kids. In the movie, the husband was an inventor and actually develops a machine that shrinks his kids. The kids go on an adventure seeing the world from a different, small perspective. They were tiny and everything around them was big. They faced lots of difficult moments because they were so small.
