Our God works in our lives each and every day; today He sends your post which triggered my above comment in the Spirit, this then lead me to share my comment as a statement of faith on Twitter. This was liked quickly which inspired the final stage of His guidance is the beginning of a new blog entitled “The Surrendered Life.” Praise God!
Ha! I can’t even keep up with all that! How wonderful – and here I am, absolutely drained at home, but somehow still a tiny part of it all. Praise God. Thank you for sharing this, Alan XXXXX
