Memories rise like dust in the desert with each step I take in this dry land, familiar yet changed. Round every corner nostalgia blows afresh. The scent of a memory wafts by, gone as quickly as it came; so quickly one would doubt if ever it was truly there. This place. It saw me bloom from child to young lady …
A Tender Reminder from His Heart to Mine…To Your’s
It was a rough night in this gal’s house last night. This morning even rougher. God gently placed this verse on my heart this morning and I’m working hard to let Him make it true in my heart.
