She had been prompted to do something, and she had prayed and prayed about it, and the Lord kept impressing her heart about it. She went to her husband, thinking he would disagree but, “he agreed with the Holy Spirit!” She then removed her large wedding ring and said that she wanted to give it to meet the needs of the homeless. http://truewoman.com/?id=1679 2011-05-26T15:55:24-05:00 The Lord graciously awakened our church two weeks ago . . . and we will never be the same. http://truewoman.com/?id=1676 2011-04-15T10:40:00-05:00 “It had been too long since I’d heard that God wanted to do more.”
