One response to “Thoughts”

  1. I admire your willingness to trust God, and venture out into a relatively unknown future.

I knew when it was time for me to change. God will also lead you through each new step. It’s been my experience that He/She/They moves quickly and decisively. Enjoy the ride. I cannot wait to see what you will do.
