• ‎"With any major decision there are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it ...is right now. Don't give up when the pressure mounts.

Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.

And so anything, anything, anything is possible.
