January 24, 2019 With as much as we loved our condo, I never thought we would ever consider selling it and moving. Little did I know, my plans needed to change to match God’s. In the midst of travels and hospital stays during the last half of 2018, we learned so much about Thad’s brain …

It always leaves me in awe how God shows up … This past weekend it was during my 3Q reflections. I looked back on the year and then plan for what is to come! It’s a quarterly process I enjoy. A chance to see where I’ve been, be grateful for each part of the journey …

January 2017 So much change …. My inner control freak is fighting to come out and I seriously just want to get out of the way and release any and all control! I think I am doing ok and then there is another change, another revelation, another something completely and totally unexpected. I am a …
