Some would say they are not gifted and others I think often feel they need to do something "very well" to be able to make a difference, but often times the people God picked to do His work were rarely experts or fully equipped, but He knew what they were capable of and so he placed a calling in their hearts and sent them forth to touch the people they encountered. I truly believe God can work in each one of us in ways we never dreamed if we are open to His leading and we are plugged into Him. :)<br /><br />Thank you for the interview with Jake and thank you Jake for sharing about your book - "Wish." <br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />Lori<br />triplel(at)evertek(dot)net lorlyn63https://www.blogger.com/profile/03147530172469052567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-45341361207134734602014-07-09T22:26:30.187-04:002014-07-09T22:26:30.187-04:00I would wish that my mother's husband would ag...I would wish that my mother's husband would agree to move from Vermont to Idaho where we are.
