Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. We are picking at what day 12 of our

confessions of God's people that are stuck in the middle devotional, which is a fictional riding

based off scripture. This one is on 2nd Kings chapter 4 and it's just been a blast to go through

to one little jar of olive oil and I am desperate. I need a miracle, sincerely a broke parent.
