Summary
Walking with the Lord is a life-long journey filled with spiritual highs and lows and refinement in between. And, in the midst of it all, we often think, "If I just work harder for the Lord and do all the right things, life will be easy." As today's storyteller encourages us, that's just not how God works - and thank goodness He doesn't!
Rebecca Walker, from our community group in Charleston, South Carolina, shares her story of spiritual transformation and how the Lord gently showed her what a true relationship with Him looks like. Through years of walking with God and gaining rich wisdom along the way, this story brings so many nuggets of truth as Rebecca sweetly reminds us of the importance of focusing on God's faithfulness and grace and letting go of self-sufficiency.
