It’s hard to let go…

It has been a while since my last post. Much is going in our lives, and I have been bad and went into my shell instead of sharing.

CalebStrong.org is on the road. We have been offered a chance to move for work and I am currently in Minnesota getting a bit of training before I start working full time. When this opportunity came up, I spent too much time in my head and over thinking God’s plan.

Once more, I have to say I Luv my friends. One of them, who happened to be a BIC,  recently posed following the question for discussion:

The primary reason for the tiered acceptance is that I have to know for whom the media is displayed, and to what extent the content goes.
