Embracing the Waiting Season
Waiting has been part of this world since the beginning of time. Did God not wait until the correct time to put humans on Earth? He could’ve placed us on the Earth before the animals were here, but He didn’t. He knew what we would need to survive and created us at the right time.…

Where will you be in ten years?
