God Allows U-turns!
Second-chance Sus’ That’s me! The Lord has shown me so much mercy in my life I feel like my nickname should be second-chance Sus’. Over and over again, He has picked me up out the mire, dusted me off, and set me back on my feet. God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, … [Read More]
