We thanked God for each room in our old home before we moved.
As a parent, moving a family creates a sense of dread and anticipation all wrapped into one.
Parenting for Faith from a Distance
I know how it can be hard to separate co-parenting from the pain of divorce. But I also know God is still at work in my life.
