How is God using you?

In my recent newsletter I asked this question: When do you feel God’s pleasure? What gifts has God given you? How do you share His truth with your world? For all of us it’s different, and that’s the great part. God uses all of us in unique ways … I’d love to hear how He… [Continue Reading]
