‘In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps’ Proverbs 16:9 ‘Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.’ Joshua 1:9 Friends – I have exciting news to share.
