Trust in God’s Plan

by | Sep 11, 2014

When you’re not sure about where God is taking you, remember to trust His plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11 is highlighted, triple underlined and the page is dog-eared and well-worn in my Bible! How about you? My work world was turned upside down in July 2013 when I was laid off from my job. […]
