Do you ever wonder what in the world God is doing? What is He up to? Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “What is going on here?!” In those moments, it’s important to have a good grip on the fact that—God Has a Plan. He has a plan for you and He […]
Trusting God’s plan can be incredibly difficult when facing intense situations. And yet, that is where our peace is found. I know of two families, in particular, who are in this position right now.
