Thank you to my Fargo/Moorhead family for these last 10 years. Until our paths cross again, I will miss you. Many blessings…

The movers come today to put everything I own into a box. I have two thoughts on that situation: 1) I am incredibly grateful that someone else is doing the packing and 2) I am incredibly grateful that the stuff that’s really important is already safely packed away in my heart.

As much as I know God, love God and believe in His great plan for me, sometimes I wish He would reveal that plan on my timeline instead of His!

“Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks.” That’s how I feel about today. Thank you Dorothy Davis for sharing that quote by Andrew Guzaldo with me. I couldn’t have found better words to describe how I feel about saying goodbye to Fargo.

Nothing makes me feel better than purging the things that weigh me down… both figuratively and literally. Shame, guilt, bitterness and boxes of junk that have been hiding in my garage are now on the curb. I hope you spend the weekend doing some solid spring cleaning!
