Submitting to God

LIVING ROOM MEMORIES  267  (March 3, 2010) I’ve been going through a lot of ups and downs, mostly brought about through plans I had for Living Room that I just haven’t been able to bring about. Things standing in my way, though that’s probably a good thing too. Maybe the timing was not as God […]
