Finally, I get to sit down and write this blog. I am so excited to tell you what God is teaching me right now that I can barely stand myself. I seriously have thought how wonderful it would be to have a computer hooked to my brain so that all I had to do was think it, and it would type up the document. (Might be scary to see in writing some of the ...

What is it Going to Take?
Some of the reason why my stress level is elevated has to do with our third blessing. This precious three-year-old is absolutely adorable. (There is a reason why God made him so cute.)
