Thank you for holding this before me. It takes, pushes, and calls me to a place of silence, a place of confession, forgiveness, healing and wholeness.<br /><br />Peace, Mike+Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550434233880007991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265441763009809088.post-83140163466794435812011-09-22T17:58:49.386-07:002011-09-22T17:58:49.386-07:00This was a deep and exposing post, Sarah.
