WONDER IN THE WHISPERS

He stirred dreams in me that I had kept hidden and quiet for so long, and out of that came a space wher


See, I am doing a new thing.
In my previous post, “Becoming New Wine,” I shared how I felt like I was in a preparation season , waiting on God’s next move within my career and relationships. It was a time of deep frustration, wrestling with hurt, timeline and learning to trust God’s timing. Out of that season of waiting, I was prompted to write a six-day devotional called Becoming New Wine. And just six days later, I received a job offer.
