Waiting On The Lord
I wish I could have coffee with each of you and hear about your life. If we were having coffee, this is what I would share with you. We’ve only been in Texas for 6 months but at times it feels like we’ve been here for 2 years. I guess that’s because my children aren’t thriving yet. It takes time. And in the waiting my heart needs reminders. Maybe you are waiting on the Lord as well? Read More
