I go to work every day andContinue reading “Tired…so Tired”
It Gets Easier, Right? Wrong.
Hey God, this thing…this life lesson thing. I am trying really. I am trying to do that forgiveness thing too. I am not doing a good job of it at all. I get mad still…ok, I get angry. It is not fair.

They say the words and we pray for them as they start a new life together. WeContinue reading “I decided to Trust My Husband”
