Sunday Girl: August 27, 2017

Secret to Power

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy 2014 to all of you! 🙂 It has been lovely to take a long (and well-deserved) break from school. As we start the new year, I thought it would be appropriate to begin by joining the world-wide and annual”Ten Days of Prayer.” At GYC (Generation.Youth.Christ) 2013, there was a seminar heldContinue reading “Secret to Power”
