• Waiting… For God’s Answer

  Last Saturday was a Bridal Shower for a friend. To begin this story though I have to back up to two years ago. When I was working at Fresenius about to take my Competency Test to stay on the floor. It was quite frustrating because this one particular week was the week I gave my…
