Thanks for letting us peak into your life here. May God weave... <br /><br />Regarding your comment on my post "He Spoke Huskily," thank you. Yes, that choice, daily, weekly, choosing one's man... and I am so floored by God's transformational joy and love that he tosses into the mix with our obedience. <br /><br />Have a lovely week, <br />Jennifer Dougan<br />www.jenniferdougan.comJennifer Dougannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991825168100346042.post-34768347277268193052012-09-08T08:15:38.590-07:002012-09-08T08:15:38.590-07:00Oh wow...what a journey.
