Do you have BIG dreams? Well, I’m a girl who dreams BIG… no really, I’m talking B-I-G BIG and I’m finally starting to see some of the BIG dreams unfold, just a mere 32 years after God told me about them!!!
On Friday I spoke to the Kingsville Divas group about the life of Hagar and even though it wasn’t the focus of my message, I felt so strongly to do a Facebook live to compel someone who was running from God to consider his love and a few wrote to let me know they needed that reminder.
