Do you also hear so much talk about priorities? About how they help us schedule our time and determine what is important in our life? But how exactly do you put this into practice? Some people suggest doing lists and prioritize the items. Others suggest you focus only on the important things and leave out […]
Thank God for closed doors! Yes, I’m serious! You never know what he protected you from. The job you didn’t get, the person you didn’t marry, etc. Praise the Lord!
