A Song for Everything

Hi Y'all!! (please read this blog in a southern drawl LOL!) I am in the throws of Production week and its a little crazy but exciting!

Then a couple of months back, after praying over it all God reminded me in many ways that he is in control, that I just needed to Trust Him and things would be alright.  Letting go can
