I was pleased to hear that you are coming to speak in my area. I know that I’ll be there and I’d like to also bring my daughter, however I am not sure as to the content of your testimony. She is 8-years-old, and has been relatively sheltered. She understands many of the worldly temptations [...]

It is fresh morning and I wait the time of meeting. My coffee is hot and tasty; steam rises in slow coils drifting into the warm atmosphere. These are moments of expectation as I gather my Bible. I pray for God to capture my mind - He always owns my heart - and to fill it with His will for this day.

When God speaks a special thought from His Word straight to my heart, I know I have been well fed.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord… Jeremiah 29:11

Rhea
