Every single day is a gift, but do we actually live that way? When we take tomorrow for granted we tend to fight against the current blessings that we have, but when we live like today is a gift, we will fight FOR our current blessings.

"Can't! Too busy!"

The reality is, YOU are in control of your calendar, and the things that are on there you have allowed in your life. So today let's talk about being "busy" and why we aren't going to say it anymore.
