This isn’t the answer you were looking for

You prayed for a solution. A fix.A breakthrough.A clear yes.Or at least a clear no. Something you could hold in your hands and say, there it is… that’s what God did. But what if… what if the answer didn’t come like that? What if the answer came… sideways? There’s this moment with Daniel. He’s praying for the […]
