Just a glimpse of me...

Do you ever feel STUCK? In 2000, I began looking for answers to some tough questions in my life. I'd searched high & low and finally conceded to search the promises found in the Bible. Those promises have sustained & guided me through the loss of a parent, the struggle with anxiety & depression, the loss of a valued relationship and so much more! I've found joy amid the pain. And, I want to share it with you!

Just a Coincidence

I arrived at the dealership early - fully expecting to be there for a few hours while my little yellow car was serviced. It was WAY overdue for service & had been exhibiting many troublesome hints that I either take it in soon or call for help from the side of the road someday soon. The LOML (yes, that's what I call the spouse) made the appointment for me & set up the timing so that he could be available for consultation should any $$ emergencies be found in the inspections. 

I was prepared for a 3-4 hour wait
