RISE & MOVE FORWARD: THIS IS THAT TIME! Spring and the Easter season often cause to take a moment of reflection. We find the time ideal for assessing what needs to be purged, or renewed, or rebirthed in our lives. The death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ paints a marvelous image of life phases through which we will move. Such is the theme of this GLORIOUS LIVING MAGAZINE ISSUE. We tapped two mighty women of God to help us walk through the questions of life’s challenges, springing back, moving forward, and rising in our lives in due season.
