Leaping Over

By Kenneth Bade

The experience that is learned is that God does exist. Also, you learn how to wait on God for mountains to be moved. Waiting is the hardest on our part. We discover that God always comes at the right moment to answer our prayers and to show that, with patience, over time it shows that our faith is enriched within his kingdom. The windows of God are open to bring and to pour out his blessings.
