As I discovered the answers to many of my questions, I could not keep them to myself. This is my attempt, despite my inadequacy, to share with you what I have been given. My heart was opened to a wealth of understanding, even the most perplexing dilemma of all--- motherhood. It is my hope that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened to see the hope of His calling; therefore, I have chosen to lead the reader to what I was given (Ephesians 1:18). I am convinced that some of these answers were not meant to be understood until their season, now.
