Then I get scared. Then I get tired. Then I get excited again. I know God's going to work it all out, and you can bet I'm going to post about it when He does! @Pinyo – Thanks!

It is going to be so awesome!" I was FLOORED. Bowled over. Speechless. I had NEVER heard anyone say that and I was raised as a Christian - yet I never heard anyone say that until I was 29. So now, I am saying, Lynnae, I am SO EXCITED to see what God is going to do to take care of this for your family. I don't know what it will be or when but I KNOW you will share it with us and it is gonna be awesome!!

Just set realistic goals and keep working toward it -- everything will work out. Just want to say that you have a good head on your shoulder and I think you will be fine.
