Follow Our Dreams?

We want to be used by God.
Seek God’s Purpose!
The realization of Bethlehem’s potential was not found by working it up and making it happen!
It was God’s plan in God’s time.
God’s plan for your life is just that GOD’s.

He’s set on you deciding to spend your life seeking His will for your life.
YOU HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL as you seek God’s plan for your life.
