Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I have to tell you something that happened to me in the nail salon about a week ago.

I got there, sat down, had my regular manicurist, ordered my wine. It was just like a lovely

afternoon as usual. And I got chatting to the girl next to me. We started talking about

nails, of course, a bit about Miami where we live and specifically the neighborhood in which we

live. And, you know, it's just one of those stranger conversations

that happens here and there, especially when I'm in a good mood and I'm energized. Normally,

I don't necessarily speak to people. But this, one of these days, was an exception. And she was

kind of wrapping up not too long after I sat down. And she said as she left, these are my engagement nails. And I looked at

her lovely manny. It was a French manny. I would say that's quite classic for an engagement shoot.

And I said, my gosh, congrats. Are you engaged? And she said, no, but I think it's happening this

weekend. My friends, why am I telling you this story? Now, I don't know this girl's name. I have

not been able to follow up, nor check in with her, nor do I even need or want to.

But I will tell you this. I bet you any money that girl got engaged. Why? Was it because of her

amazing, glossy, shiny nails? No. It's because she was moving in faith, right? The Bible says, faith without works is dead. And there's a line

that sometimes you hear, it's in a lot of kind of older school personal development books,

this expression, dig your ditches, dig your ditches. It comes from, I looked it up actually, from the Bible.

It's in two kings, apparently.

And people are told, because people are told to dig their ditches before the rain arrives.

Okay, basically, of course, there are biblical stories about this, but this is

everyday life that we're talking about here. It's acting in faith before the evidence shows up.

Are you doing this? I've told this story a million times, but I bought my first national morning
