THANK YOU!

...everyone, for all of your prayers and your amazing love! i appreciate all the notes and calls and encouragement from my beloved brothers and sisters. <3

the storm is still raging, and the winds still blow, but i KNOW that my Jesus has the power to calm the wind and the sea. it is ALL in His hands.

and because of that reason i am at peace.
