Just the other day, an Apostle reached out to me to share a dream that she had in 2018. Although she was unable to remember the details of the dream, she recalled someone saying to her “the 12 tribes of Israel are coming!” I was both blessed and encouraged by […]
I pray that you had a wonderful time with friends and family during Rosh Hashanah, and my prayer is that you will have a sweet 5781! We continue in this holy time in the period known as the Ten Days of Awe or the Days of Repentance, which takes us […]
