I am still in that chapel on a hill, remembering how awesome God's grace and love can be. There is so much to be thankful for this Monday evening. So much my heart wants to share with you all who come to this small piece of cyberspace and honor me with your presence. I need to count the blessings this week. I need to remember that with growth comes pain and joy all in the same breath.
I will choose JOY...
