These are true personal stories of optimism, faith and strength of my walk with God. I was inspired to tell my stories to encourage other people to listen when God speaks. He does speak to us in many ways. He speaks to us: 1. In a dream 2. Through our mind 3. Through scriptures 4. Through prayer 5. Through a friend 6. Through a mentor 7. Through a prop 8. Through a vision and many other ways. When God speaks to you, be obedient to his Word.
