“I’m so glad he is not confined to days, and times, and spaces but he is a God of all times, and all of our times are in his hands. He moves whenever he desires to move in a life.”

“We praise God for his faithfulness in the midst of all things, even our calendars ─

“I’m so glad we serve a God whose power is not diminished nor changed by the odds that show up in our lives. Even if it looks like they’re all against you; even if it looks like the odds are not in your favor, God is, and is power is great!”
