Following God Into the Unknown (Part 4)

June 28, 2016 by Amelia

With no houses on the market, we wondered if the plan to scale back and simplify was going to work. There was no Plan B, and our lease was only until June 30. (Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.) May 1, the landlord called and got right to the point. “We’re selling our rental […]

June 27, 2016 by Amelia

following God into the unknown

Float my boat

July 21, 2010 by Amelia

This past weekend was one of those weekends that gave me pause to remember just why we willingly uprooted ourselves from the community we love in Florida and moved back to Michigan.
