My First Date Since The Honeymoon. Pt 1

It’s been a while since I have been able to sneak away and go on a full all day date. But this one I wanted to make extra special. My plan was to wake up REALLY early, like 3:30 am early and take a three-hour drive to watch the sunrise in Coromandel. Everybody I talked…

Waiting for something to happen.

There are so many times in life that I wish I knew all the answers or had a clue what the ending would look like. Our life is a journey and the majority of it, we walk into the unknown hoping that God will reveal the path on the way. But so many times we…
