Dear Church Body, What joy I feel when I walk into the House of Worship! To know God meets me there every time I come to raise my hands in Praise to my God is a blessing. But sometimes, when I come to meet with Him and share my heart some of you aren’t always on the same page of coming… Read More
31 days of anonymity {day 13 – dear partner in crime}
To my Partner in Crime: I wish I never met you. Maybe then, my life would not have been turned upside down. Our meeting was like a magnetic force, which could not be broken.
