God Comes Through Every Time

“What in the world are we doing?!” … this thought actually ran through my head somewhere over the North Atlantic. It has been such a whirlwind, that I sometimes sit and think… why exactly did I uproot my family and go halfway around the world? But of course, God has always worked it out for […]

Bones, Garage Doors, U-Hauls & Mountain Passes
