Oh, Karen! I so need to hear this and make this part of my life! Manny is facing the prospect of having another kidney transplant, as the current one is being rejected by his body and it will be much more challenging to find a donor this time! Life can sure seem overwhelming, but I know the Lord is never surprised or daunted by what is coming our way! Thank you for your words of encouragement and sharing what the Lord has taught you on your journey! I love you! ~Becky
