21 Promises For You This Year
We all need to be reminded of God's promises for us as we go about our daily schedules and busy lives because His words bring us a much needed breath of life that we so desperately need to take in. The world with all it's noise stops as we seek His face and as we do this, our souls find a restful peace. This, in turn, transforms our families as we reflect time invested with our Creator. Like Moses in being in the presence of God, we too will bear His radiance. With this in mind, take a moment to hear...
