As you remember, the Lord spoke to us that 2015 was going to be a year of “suddenlies”. But I didn’t realize it would happen so fast! This week, as I was driving pastor Gershom to his next appointment, we stopped at Starbucks to get coffee.

This morning was different. I knew that God had woken me up at 4 a.m., but I was not sure what He wanted. After a period of aligning myself in contemplation, I remembered that my daughter Misty had asked to be awakened so she could see the sunrise. I woke her up and we drove to theContinue reading “Dedication, The White Paper”
