Karen, I have been a stalker for, I think, a couple of years now. My husband finds it amusing and disturbing at the same time. I on the other hand am inspired by your committment to your family, faith, photography, and blog. This post of yours is refreshing. Sometimes our life's journey is not all sunshine and butterflies, but it is the harder portions of our journey that make the sunshine and butterflies part that much more enjoyable. God's plan is sometimes mysterious, but it is always a good one. I too feel that quite a few things "are coming" soon. I wish you and your family the best.
