Sometimes the blessing isn’t the problem. It’s wondering why it took you ten years to receive what someone else got in ten months. But as my sister Sandy once said, “If God is blessing your friends, it means He’s in the neighborhood.” 🙏🏾💛 This week on Grace Across Borders: Grace in the Neighborhood.

This week, the Holy Spirit reminded me of a truth I didn’t realize I needed: the little things we try to carry on our own eventually become heavy. While the world says, “Don’t sweat the small stuff,” God lovingly says, “Bring Me the small stuff.” Join me as we explore the miracle of the floating…

When God speaks… do we listen? The boy who cried wolf lost trust because he misused his voice. The prophet in 1 Kings 13 lost his life because he ignored God’s voice. Obedience is not always easy. But disobedience costs more. This morning at 4 a.m., God reminded me… He is still speaking. The question…
