Hail Mary 12.14.19

God wants to reach people through us. But we have to be able to see past the impossibilities and step out in obedience, first! When He calls us to something, we’ve got to trust Him to provide whatever is needed to accomplish His purpose.

His dad was understandably concerned and asked his son what had happened. The boy informed his dad… Read more »

The Fifth Of July
