“DON’T RUSH…LET THE RUSH COME TO YOU”

As you set your sites on your own personal summit, it’s time to stay present to God’s process. At times you may grow impatient because you are too focused on the outcome. As you wait on God’s Best, I encourage you to shift your mindset so you don’t rush, but let the rush come to you. It’s time to design your destiny, discern what God’ has for you and prepare for his overflow in every area of your life.
