God as Your Producer by LaKisha M. Johnson Genesis 1: 11-13 “Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation; seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. And it was so.

It’s Working for You ….…. By LaKisha M. Johnson Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” I remember I signed up with this program to work out for 120 days in a row.
