Are you waiting with Jesus?
What are you waiting for right now? I don’t mean waiting your turn at the doctor’s office or the checkout line, or waiting to move forward in a traffic jam. I mean waiting for the next life-changing reprieve or jolt that you are powerless against. You waffle between fear and […]
