The Path

Sometimes I just stand in awe of how quickly life can change.  I don’t really know what to say at this point.  After my last post, when I felt that God was reaching out to me, letting me know that He was there and He was going to provide all of my needs, I was [...]

Changes Don’t Suit Me

Dear God,
All these moves are getting old. I’m tired of it. Please fix it before I beat my husband over the head with a frying pan the next time he mentions, “the next move.”
