friends, what a blessing! \u00a0We are surrounded by people and\u00a0opportunities. \u00a0I just pray that we will remain faithful to take advantage of the opportunities that surround us. \u00a0It is not always easy to leave our house\/comfort zone, but every time I do I remember that this is why we are here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1747\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1747\"
