Our Editor Rachel shares an intimate story about love from the Father of the bride on her wedding day.
Have you ever experienced an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn’t be familiar at all? Some people call it a déjà vu while others say it could be a distant dream. However, I think it could sometimes be a vision that God has placed in our hearts.
