The pink slip is never fun; but as the time goes beyond that time, I realize that God did have plans in store for me - and I LOVE that Jeremiah verse...there was a time I had it posted in my car on a sticky note!

It does get easier, but we never forget...it was 16 years ago that I was attacked - inside the church where I was working at the time - perhaps if you wish to share with someone else who has "been there", you could PM me on Facebook?!

We are in a season at my house wondering why it has seemed God has led us down a certain path only to unexpectedly have the door closed on us.
