We are all safely home with our families! God bless the prayer warriors who prayed us through! There were NO injuries, NO safety issues, NO trips to the Emergency Room, NO travel snags, NO emergencies at home, NO arguing, fighting or drama, NO discouragement!!!!!
There was LOVE, LAUGHTER, JOY, CONFIDENCE, BOLDNESS, UNITY, PEACE, GREAT SLEEP, and DAILY DIVINE APPOINTMENTS FOR EACH OF US!
God bless our mighty Prayer Warriors!
As we get back into the swing of things here at home, please pray that:
each of us continues to grow and mature in Christ
