Well Anchored

So much has happened in these last few years.  It can feel exhausting to even try to address it.  It seems easiest to paint with a broad brush, call it all wild and keep on keepin’ on. But recently, God has been tugging on me to stop and look back. To review the last few years of my life with intention and the gift of hindsight.
