The answer to questions are powerful and speak volume whether it's a yes or a no. The answer to questions are not only important but also why you choose the answer you did. When I said yes to my wife as her husband and when I said to Jesus as my Lord and savior are the two most important decisions in my life which hold tremendous responsibility. When you say YES to your purpose and operating in your gift(s) it will open not only doors for yourself but also for others. I dare you to say YES today to your calling & purpose!
