Evidences of God's Grace in 2011
“Your spiritual history is marvelous and interesting, even if crazy at times. It’s the history of God working in you.”
I was motivated by this blog post to write out a list of things which had happened to me in 2011 and through which God had guided me. It was a really beneficial thing to reflect on, especially as 2011 was a particularly turbulent year for my family. Would you also...
