You can run, but you can’t hide

It's been a while. A lot of has happened since I last posted. Change is a tricky thing.  It comes and goes.  Sometimes it sticks, sometimes it fades, and sometimes it never comes.  I've changed quite a bit in almost two years, but I haven't changed, at the same time. I fail daily when it …

Faith and trust, and a lot of patience.

Back in mid-August, I was unceremoniously let go from my job. This was the very job that I had accepted as my "forever job."  Not only was it filled with wonderful, godly people, but it was a steady, full time, salary job.  A "big girl" job.
