WMU: Rita Bilbo Have you ever felt that God is changing your future? I don’t change. God has something new for me to do. I don’t know what it is yet, but God will show me in His Perfect Timing (Jeremiah 33:3). I say it is time to slow down. God says, “Rita, I am not done with you.” God says, “Look what I did with Moses, Abraham, and David.” God still has more for me to do. Maybe you feel as I do. Just get alone with God and say as Moses said, “I will turn aside and listen to You.” (Exodus 3:3) Once God tells what He wants you to do for Him, your life will never be the same. Change is coming for you and for me. Embrace it with God embracing you. I love those type of hugs. God Bless you. Rita WMU women of Pearl River County, let us go forth in our churches and communities to tell the Good News which is the Gospel of Christ. Let us be a “light” in a dark world. Let us lift one another up in prayer as we serve Christ. Time is short. We must Go and Tell. God bless our WMU women. Love you all.
