There’s much shedding during such a season.When you finally surrender to God and realize that it is not just about you, great things happen in your life.When God speaks, He does so to the future version of ourselves, not the present.There are always some things in our lives that try to replace the voice of God. If we are not careful, we will fall into their trap and fail the mark.The secret to getting more intimate with God is reading a Bible chapter and praying daily.Kendra’s BookGod's Perspective for Me by Kendra Dublin: https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Perspective-Me-Kendra-Dublin/dp/153952616XConnect With us:Kendra DublinWebsite | https://kendra-dublin.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kendradublinInstagram | https://instagram.com/iamkendradublinLinkedIn| https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendradublinYouTube| https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeP2MMHvUxvXq9_Ehcw5nWQ/Rachel ScottWebsite| https://rachelgscott.com/Website| http://the5leaps.com/Instagram| https://www.instagram.com/iamrachelgscott/Facebook| https://www.facebook.com/iamrachelgscott
