How to Run your Race with Freedom – Part One

I woke up this morning overwhelmed with life – have you ever done that? Life feels unordered. Vision and purpose are missing. Goals are absent. Time with God is being squeezed out.

How to fully enjoy your life + pray for our Nigerian brothers & sisters

Have you struggled with the concept of surrendering to Jesus? There is a part of me that always wants to keep control. To make decisions on my own. To make my own plans.
