Catching the details of your life experiences and sharing them with others can be both encouraging and therapeutic.
My husband is about to undertake a career change which involves a job loss, 4 years of seminary, over 120 credit hours of study, 4 moves in 4 years, and saying goodbye to our ministry, our friends, and everything we know. I have decided to call this “an adventure”. And I am going to bring you all along for the ride.
