I mean, my life is His, and I want to be obedient in whatever He asks, but Lord, I don’t want to do that!!! Going through … More But Lord, I Don’t Want To…
My mind has a habit of returning often to the WAA-WAA, oh poor me thing – yuk! And it indeed came pouring upon me that summer before Jeffrey started kindergarten, after we had gotten back from our vacation where I had heard the Lord speak to me so clearly (God Does Speak To Us – Really!). … More What a Wretched [Wo]man I Am!
A beautiful place that Gary, Jeffrey and I vacationed more than once was up in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.
