It was over 300 miles from home and I didn't know anyone else going there so I was a bit apprehensive. But I went anyway and it was there that I met my future husband - we've been very happily married for over 42 years now.Winnie Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295070748234710260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-61753741899557743982018-03-16T19:27:21.160-04:002018-03-16T19:27:21.160-04:00Winnie I love that God has already put some amazin...Winnie I love that God has already put some amazing new ideas in your heart. I will be praying for you. <br />Career wise my road has changed often. I thought I was at my last place to work until I felt it was time to pray for a new direction. Two years after those prayers, we moved more than half way across the country, but I know it is all in His plan. I look forward to what is next.
