All my love,
Wow, Daeyna. Great post there. Truth is, your list is a blessing. And yes, as for me, my perfection is Christ. I have the mind of Christ. And I confess that every day. The more I confess, the more I become my confessions. Most Christians don’t practice confessing God’s Word about them. Love you. And thanks for sharing, sis.
