Nehemiah 2:18b (The Msg) Today was one of those rare days…I was able to synergize with some passionate and gifted women’s ministry leaders. Here’s the thing, I don’t want those days to be rare. Women’s ministry leaders and…
“Enough! Speak to Me no more of this matter.” Deuteronomy 3:26 This does not sound like a God-statement, does it? But it is. And really, how many times do we see exclamation points used in scripture? It has been years since Moses was called from the back side of the desert to lead the children of Israel out of…
