Things have been taking a major shift in my life. For years I have prayed and pleaded and begged God to “fix me” …and to do whatever He must do to me so that He can do his work through me. This prayer and this longing was no doubt birthed in me since early childhood, … Continue reading THE GREAT SHIFT
DEPENDENCE DAY
