Or, at least, out of my dreams. I don't know your story, so I don't seek comparison, but I too have lost much and the last four years have been some of the hardest of my entire life. I am still looking for that road to redemption; I would humbly ask that you pray for me. I am making some major changes in my life right now, and I hope to join you in renewal soon *hugs* I am so excited for you, and can't wait to see what blessings come into your life!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784012926662729935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-19925396426896269432010-10-22T18:57:31.430-05:002010-10-22T18:57:31.430-05:00I have been there, too.
