Dear Friends,

Hope all is well with you!  I can’t believe it’s been over six-and-a-half years since my son died. The road that followed his death, along with other very difficult situations that came along, was the toughest road of physical and emotional recovery I’d ever had to walk. Much like Job in the Bible, I felt abandoned by God and man.

But God showed me He’d been there all along!  For the last several years I’ve gone through rounds of construction as God continues the good work He began in me the day of my salvation.  As I’m beginning to get my head above water I’ve never felt more at peace or closer to God. I hope to share some of these transformations sometime soon.

I apologize I have not been writing as I originally promised. I am slowly working myself back to that place.

I thank you all for your understanding and patience.

Normally, I take the extra effort to push the empty cart to its designated spot, but this time I desperately needed to get off my foot. I pushed the mini cart to the dividing line between the parking spaces as I’ve seen countless carts left, and left it there making sure it wasn’t in anyone’s way when they pulled in or out, and was relieved to sit in my car.

Hi friends.

I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to a new year of blessings. Please forgive my absence as last year was a year mixed with blessings and difficulties.

Many Blessings!
