Now that Rob is back from deployment, we are church hunting again. It’s always a challenging process, but this past Sunday we visited a church for the 2nd time and so far we really like it. Whether or not we’ll choose to become members there still remains to be seen, but I know without a …

I Surrender All…Again
Why is it sometimes so hard to turn my troubles over to God permanently? He loves me more than anyone else, yet I find myself trying over and over to take back control of things I’ve turned over to Him. I find myself feeling heartache and pain over something that I previously surrendered to God …
