FOLLOW GOD’S LEAD

Doesn’t it often seem that we are constantly on the go, with our agendas dictated by what we believe we need to accomplish within a specific time frame? Perhaps you even make a list like I do to keep you on track. Don’t we often have certain people we need to find and connect with even when attending church services?
