"For who scorns the day of small things?" Zechariah 4:10 (HCSB)The Lord has been speaking to me a lot about the importance of faithfulness in the little things. No house stands without a foundation of small concrete blocks being built one on top of the other. All of us, no matter what degrees we have earned, all started out in kindergarten.
