Several years ago, I was on the phone, sharing with my friend Vicki, about my Mom’s upcoming wedding. My Mom, who was 77 years young at the time, was getting married. She had been a single mom for more than forty years. I was telling Vicki how happy my Mom...
Have you ever been given a word from God that you didn’t want to hear? I have. Even though I didn’t want to hear them, I knew they were straight from God. When I think of this truth, I think about Moses. Remember when God told him to go to...
