(In all honesty... I didn't know what to journal about this morning (what you are about to read totally came Spirit led). Good morning! There are so many directions I could journal about this morning! Recently our oldest son got married (in September), I am 20 pounds away from my weightloss goal, I wake up daily at 3 AM for my morning routine, I still can not find my passport, and I have more pattern and ideas for sewing projects than I can physically accomplish. In short - I

As I was praying this morning and talking to God about my insecurities, questions, concerns, the thought occurred to me, I have "doubts" !! I MUST be sinning!

I am in the process of finally getting my STAR ID, REAL ID (whatever your state calls it) and I cannot believe how much is required to PROVE my identity.
