Analysis of Things you can't control

Alex Mitchell 2021 (Louisiana)



Don't indulge in elements you can't control
Keep on pushing don't bend break or fold.
Put God first in all your endeavors in life
Walk by faith not by sight.
Even after a hurricane the sun shine bright
Life is abundant be grateful for your blessings
Love conquers all remember time is of the essence
Moral to the story love God with all your heart and soul
Trust in him don't worry about things you can't control.
