What Has God Spoken to Our Lives this Year?

What Has God Spoken to Our Lives this Year?

When exploring / hiking, I make it a habit to look back to see where I’ve been – it gives perspective. I use vista points to understand where I am, and where I’m going.
I believe that as we stand at the end of this year, and at the beginning of a new year, it is an important time to evaluate where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.
