There is so much power in these two words, ‘I am’. And what comes after those words makes a huge difference! The ‘I am’ in your mind determines the ‘I am’ in your life. God can create someone wonderful in you, but if you don’t believe it and start speaking it, your feet won’t start…
Lately, something has been bothering me about blogging and other online messages I put out there. It’s usually after a solution to the story surfaces.
