    We can experience God’s presence outside of us, and within us. God isn’t far off. He’s so close we can hardly imagine it. Many feel God is far off. They wonder… Can you really experience God? Can you really sense God’s presence? Can you really know God deeply? The answer to those 3 questions is yes.

    Trusting God’s timing in every season, we learn to wait with faith, knowing He is present and working even when we cannot see it.
