Surprise on my board by my desk
Here I am at the end of another week. It's been awhile since I last posted and a lot has happened. To really sum it up it has just been one where my head has been in a thousand different places. My prayer and devotion time, which had taken a back seat, has become a main focus in my life lately. The major points have been...my grandmother being back at my parents house and needing to use a walker (major household changes) and my brother being robbed at gunpoint in his own condo. Needless to say it's been a very crazy week and I am grateful for good weather and some plans this weekend.
