Spiritual Journey: After you say a wholehearted yes to your calling

When I first sensed the marvel of Your presence in my heart, I was drawn like a child to a carnival ride. I perceived Your power and imagined You’d take me further and faster – exactly where I wanted to go, I said yes. Years of wholehearted yeses later, I’ve learned that the richness of […]
