In last week's blog, we mentioned the importance of Giving Tuesday for All Things New in 2023. We are coming to the end of what has been an eventful and difficult year for All Things New in many ways.
Sometimes, it is not even saying "no," it can also be just not listening and just living life like we have always lived. We may not be saying "no" to GOD because we are not really saying anything to Him.
