He twirled me around one last time and said, “Meet me at the altar.” I skipped to my room to await the time when my daddy would walk me down the aisle to meet Ben at the altar. All these years later, I have a much greater respect for the altar. In my 23-year-old mind,… Continue reading Meet Me at the Altar
Have you ever been driving, then look around and think, “How did I get here?” Have you ever looked around in your life and thought, “How did I get here?” I talked about how we want a word from God, but often miss the way He speaks to us in a previous blog. Samuel knows… Continue reading Hear I Am
