Remember that trip to Mexico I took last year? Well there was a purpose behind it. I was after interviews and background to write an article about Amelia.
This story shows that where you come from doesn’t limit God. God takes us right where we’re at. He just wants a heart that will say, “Yes, Lord!”
I hope you’ll be as blessed, encouraged and challenged by reading this article, as I was in the writing of it.
Here’s a little teaser…
