POISED FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
When I wrote Waiting: A Necessary Pause in Time, I meant it for myself. Waiting has never been my forte.

Growing Spiritually in Christ
(“Increase with the increase of God” – Col 2:19b)
Undeniable growth is a natural phenomenon like the hairs on the head, or a seed exposed to moisture will develop into a plant, and soon bear fruit.
