Does Your Head Spin at the Thought of an Impromptu Testimony?

God began speaking to me about rest; the beauty of entering a place of rest. He analogized the natural process of the changing of the leaves with the spiritual process of finding our rest in Him. Both require preparation in the Spring and Summer.
