One by one, I went about tucking the little ones in the other night. I snuggled my face right next to Elizabeth as I whispered to her while gazing into her gorgeous African eyes. She was fully engaged and whispering back and forth with me. I said, “Elizabeth you are so beautiful! Do you really…

A Sweet Email

I got a sweet email from a bloggy friend. This is what she said {although I changed info so to protect her identity}. My husband and I took a job as youth ministers right after we graduated from college in 2007. We loved our experience but felt that God was specifically calling me to apply…
