THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY STORE! AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW, I'VE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME NAVIGATING RUNNING THIS BUSINESS IN A FRUITFUL WAY WHILE TRYING TO CARE FOR MY FATHER-IN-LAW AND HIS AILING HEALTH AND ALSO MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR 5 CHILDREN WHO ARE STILL AT HOME - INCLUDING A VERY "SPIRITED" 5-YEAR-OLD WHO KEEPS US ON OUR TOES ON A DAILY BASIS. YOU MAY HAVE ALSO NOTICED I TOOK A BREAK FROM EVERYTHING OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS AS WE WONDERED IF IT MIGHT BE MY FATHER IN LAW'S LAST CHRISTMAS WITH US ON EARTH. I'M STILL PRAYING ABOUT WHAT MY NEXT STEPS MIGHT BE AT THIS TIME. IF YOU FEEL SO INCLINED, PLEASE PRAY WITH ME. I HAVE PUT SO MUCH LOVE INTO THIS STORE OVER THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS AND THE THOUGHT OF LETTING GO IS HARD. I LOVE HELPING MOM'S LOVE ON THEIR MISSIONARIES WHILE THEY ARE AWAY SERVING! I LOVE TALKING TO MISSIONARIES AS THEY ARE GETTING READY TO PUT THEIR COLLEGE, RELATIONSHIPS AND FAMILIES ON HOLD SO THAT THEY CAN PUT THEIR WHOLE HEART, MIGHT, MIND AND STRENGTH INTO FURTHERING THE LORDS KINGDOM. I LOVE WATCHING THEM GO OUT AND CHANGE LIVES THE WAY MINE AND MY HUSBANDS LIVES WERE ONCE CHANGED. GOD IS GOOD I KNOW HE HAS A PLAN FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON ON THIS EARTH. I KNOW THAT WHATEVER HE HAS IN STORE FOR ME NEXT - WHETHER IT'S CONTINUING RUNNING THIS STORE OR DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT WILL BE WONDERFUL BECAUSE ALL OF THE REST OF HIS PLANS FOR MY LIFE - EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM, WERE WONDERFUL TOO. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING AS I NAVIGATE THIS STAGE OF LIFE. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE SUPPORTED ME AND MY EFFORTS TO HELP YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTERS OVER THE YEARS. THE SWEAT AND TEARS HAVE BEEN 100% WORTH IT AND I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I LOVE YOU ALL. GOD BLESS!
