Y’all, I finished an entire book! I am not historically a reliable reader, meaning I could not tell you the last time I finished a book, so this is a pretty big deal for me.

The best friend I ever had (my husband) is dead. For a long time, it was hard for me to remember he was my best friend. I promise you if you had asked me who my best friend was when he was alive, he would not have been the first name out of my mouth.Continue reading “The best friend I ever had is dead.”

Here’s a simple summary: I am 34, a mother of 3 boys, a widow, a lover, a peace seeker, a JesusContinue reading “Hello, My name is Sarah.”
