    Contributed by Maria Saunders on Aug 29, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 33,458 views

    I was having difficulty with this topic because of recent setbacks in my life. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that setbacks are God’s opportunity for setups! Amen! Circumstances do not stop what God has for His children: that’s you and me. This morning, I want to speak on ...read more
