It is so like Almighty God to speak to us through our experiences in life. Indeed He is the best special needs teacher revealing relevant lessons every day. I learned a tangible lesson this week about taming my tongue. Perhaps my experience will help you to connect the dots for your exam too. Silence speaks […]
