From the moment we got off the plane, we were going places and seeing people. In addition to seeing our precious friends and celebrating Dan’s accomplishment, we got to enjoy a little bit of down time. We even got to see my mom’s family and meet my cousin’s son. In the midst of the whirlwind, […]

21 days of prayer – week 2
Guys, this week was a struggle. The enemy must have been attacking me because I could not seem to get myself out of bed when my alarm went off! So tired… This called for a couple “on demand” plays to catch the message bit, but I still faithfully prayed while I pumped before heading out […]
