However much we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that at any minute He may break in. We are apt to overlook this element of surprise, but God never works in any other way. –Oswald Chambers
This is Jody from our trip to Wales. I just caught up with Amy B/H on Facebook and she mentioned this site, so I hope you don’t mind me commenting here.
Your story is amazing, and I’m in awe of you! Your family is beautiful and I can tell you are all living a wonderful life together. It’s so nice to hear that you are doing so well!
I think of the Wales trip often, especially since becoming a mom, and hoping my daughter can do something like that in her future. What a great experience!
