Have you felt that you were waiting for God? Did you ever feel like the wallflower at the party? Or that God was like a date and you were stood up? What do you do when God is silent? Do you standstill? Do you brazenly move forward? Do you make inquiry after inquiry only to

The Next Step

Forgive

Have you ever felt stuck for no reason? Like you couldn’t move forward and you didn’t know why? Maybe you felt stuck with a weight issue, a business issue, a ministry issue, or even an emotional issue. Recently I was faced with this exact same dilemma — STUCK… …I was completely perplexed!

In the few moments I had between Kid’s Praise and busy kids, I heard an interview on Christian radio that really caught my attention.
