(I'm writing over at Laced with Grace today, here's the start) The Stop, Look and Listen Girl is at it again. For those of you who don't know that's my nickname. God speaks to me through what I see and hear, if and when I look and listen. I often capture a picture of His message and share it online. This week's message was loud and clear. On Continue Reading
Amazing Awaits
Amazing awaits. Saw these words a couple weeks and had my daughter take a picture while I was driving. Amazing awaits was a reminder of hope for me. To believe. To dream. And to prepare.

Stop, Look -n- Listen: Goal
