The Art of Budgeting with Cinquetta Basden Jones

I've allowed life to take control of me and I got lukewarm. I've strayed away from God but I'm grateful that He pulled me back into His presence. It is my hope that if you are in a lukewarm state that you get connected with your Father God because He's patiently waiting for you to come back home. Don't be ashamed because the reality is we are prone to wander as we are battling daily with our flesh! Do what it takes today to be free and cry out to God.
