Iktsuarpok

There comes a time in your life when you've become very complacent -no- hmmm... contented. Then something happens -like a strong urge to do something.

Then you start working on it and later find yourself in confusion.

Is that really what you want to do?

You think it is indeed God's will.

Then again, you feel you're being grilled.
