This year has passed all too quickly! It seems like I shouldn’t be sitting here reflecting on all this year has held already. However, I have learned the older I get the faster time flies. It’s just a reality of life that must be embraced because it is truth, no matter how much it always

I didn’t think it would be that simple. Finding closure. Agonizing over the lack thereof for years only to embrace it with one simple choice. To go back to the exact same place it all started. It’s so amazing how the Holy Spirit orchestrates a myriad of details and then brings them all together as
