Life. There is a beginning and and ending. In the middle - we face many unknowns. In the middle, there is beauty between. Throughout the Bible, we read many stories of characters that were stuck in the middle of their story for a very, very, long time.

God often speaks to people or calls them to something that doesn’t make sense. It may scare them to death because its not within their means or resources. God just say follow me and trust me.

Moses was a murderer on the run in the w...

LIFE LESSON 3: Your purpose comes from God, not peoples’ expectations or opi...
