Stuck on Saturday

I've had a post running through my head the last two days but it was always at the most inconvenient time, which is how it always seems to work.  I find the words when I can't stop and give them the time they deserve and when I finally get the chance to let them spill out, they escape me.

A Sunrise Through the Rear View Mirror

God is Good, ALL THE TIME!

Wow. It has been a day. I'm still collecting my thoughts, and although so much of the day seems like a blur, there is so much good. I really wasn't sure how today was going to go, I think you all know that.  But we had the fun added extra bag of nerves that comes with a 4 year old who was throwing up most of the night.  All...

Unstoppable

Tomorrow is the day that has been on my mind since January.  Nine months I have waited for this day, just as I waited for each of my precious babies to be born.  I wanted to write something super inspiring tonight, but my head isn't clear enough.  There are all kinds of thoughts swirling through it.  So I'll just reflect...
