You know what, sis? As I read this, I can’t help but think that your journey with the Advance Team is God opening doors for you that no man can shut; I get the feeling this is the start of something special for you in your life and something that will bring more blessing than you may be able to presently know. God’s placement of you on this team was very strategic; this is going to bring new levels and blessing for you in your life. I am committed to praying for you over here, as the Lord brings you to mind. This is the start of something wonderful for you! Enjoy the ride. You will be EXCELLENT at this- don’t doubt it!! —Procurement Beth at the IOC 🙂
Thank you so much for the encouragement and prayers Beth!
