Write a letter Growing up, I had no less than six penpals at a time. My parents attended a yearly Christian conference each summer, and I amassed friends all over the country.

This month marks one year since we moved back to Michigan after living in Florida for 6 years. It also marks one year that we’ve been living with my in-laws way out in the country. It’s been a year of waiting. A year of wondering. A year of wishing. A year of learning to be [...]
