Recently, God has been helping me to understand something new about His love. A challenge placed in front of me has been obedience. Obedience to God’s word in the Bible. Also, as I’ve been learning to tune into what God is saying to me personally better than ever before on this trip, I’ve been challenged in that to obey what He tells me to do.
