  3. This sounds like a book I need to read. It seems lately that my dreams have been shattered. With daughter running from God and us; struggling with finances ...I could go on. I feel all I am trying to do right now is survive each day.
    God was not surprised by this ...
    HE will give us direction.

    Have a Happy Easter!
