Day 14 – Starting Over or Giving Up?

October 14, 2018 by Patti 3 Comments

The Write 31 Days Challenge – 31 Days,Every Day,One Topic

Day 14

(day 1 starts here)

The onset of Summer and life at the new lake house was a soothing balm to my soul.  Sunny weather is like that for me. As Kelly and I renewed our commitment to our marriage we began studying the attributes of God together, and God gradually began healing the hurt between us.

“Debbie, I want you to get your house in order.”

I don’t know about you, but as I read Scripture, sometimes God will speak something to my heart that at the      time seems to come out of left field. Yet, it is often something so needed in the moment.

Huh God? What was that again?

“Get your house in order.”

She grins. She laughs. She tells a funny and they chuckle. Few know the pain beneath that smile. Click To Tweet     

Here we are, at Part 7 in the 8-part series on Perseverance that myself and three talented friends have put together.  This week I just so happen to get to spend time with these same friends when we get together for a meet up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  I am so excited I can hardly wait.                        …
