Keep drawing near to Him; He will draw near to you.<BR/><BR/>After my first husband died at the age of twenty-eight, there were times I felt very alone.

But the only thing I know to do is thank God for the moment, whatever it is, even if you've got no clue where you're going or how long it will take to get there.

Holding you in mine and lifting you up. BTW, the Job timeline thing? It's the one after God came and spoke that gets me.
