    Tell the story from the mother’s perspective. Can you say all things are possible with God? Tell your neighbor, “Don’t judge me now, because God’s ain’t finished with me yet”. Tell your neighbor, “You need to be confident”. Now quote Phil. 1:6 with me. Alice and I visited a church this week. ...read more
