Thankfully, God has been hard at work in my life, using our wonderful counselor over the last couple of years. It's a journey, and I am grateful for where I am on that journey at the moment.Laura Paxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140330952926169201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-60690018948709155082008-04-16T08:39:00.000-05:002008-04-16T08:39:00.000-05:00Amy, everything you write...ministers to my heart....Amy, everything you write...ministers to my heart.

It's hard to make that first step forward but when we do, we often find others who either sympathize or will walk with us.<BR/><BR/>I am glad that your friend knew you well enough to make you feel safe to share.<BR/><BR/>Papa, please be with Gevan, touch his eye and bring complete healing in your time and your way. We acknowledge that your plans and thoughts are much higher than ours. We trust you have a higher plan and thought for Gevan. Guide Amy and her dear husband as they walk this out in their lives.<BR/>Cover them all in your embrace.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.com
