One day, I'm sure you will meet so many women whom you have "mothered" in one way or another in the many places you've served!

I felt like I was making the same sacrifice of Abraham with Isaac, only there was no ram in the thicket to save my dream. Honestly, that hurt doesn't entirely ever go away.

You are a lot further along in your spiritual understanding of contentment than I was at your age!Nancynoreply@blogger.com
