Droga Wiary - Odcinek # 3 Gdzie był Początek

Send us a text W tym odcinku opowiem o pewnych wydarzeniach z mojego życia, tak zwane, “kroki z cudami”, inaczej mówiąc, dostrzegając ręki Boga na mojej drodze wiary. Dlaczego zaczęłam serię podcastów „Podróż Wiary Kasi”? Moje przesłanie skupia się na dostrzeganiu tych cudów i zrozumieniu sensu istnienia. Na zauważeniu ze wszystko co mamy w posiadaniu pochodzi od Boga. „Tak łatwo zapominamy, że przyszliśmy na świat z niczym. To, co otrzymujemy, szybko zaczyna wydawać się naszym naturalnym prawem...
