It has been a WHILE since I’ve been on here! My book is chugging right along. I haven’t had much time to work on it because I’m graduating this year but the plot is almost done being outlined and the first chapter is written. :) I know it doesn’t sound like a lot but progress is progress. :)

I felt God pour out His love on me like a flood and wash away everything that had been hindering our communication. Inner peace is essential to having a healthy, balanced life style and I’ve only had it for 24 hours!
