There is always a crisis lying in wait for all of us. Life out there is not easy. Sometimes stress is pressing so hard you can hardly breathe. And I must confess, the rulers of this country do not paint a role-coloured of the future. All these things make us really negative and I sometimes […]
Read moreChristoff told his story – a lesson in trust for me. A story of how God’s power is made visible through people. I must confess it doesn’t always work like that for me.
