I get Lyn Conway's Fresh Idea E-mail every morning, and today's really struck me, because I had expressed fear of promoting to Director yesterday. I took today's quote today as another sign, of God's Will fo rmy life. I hope it helps someone else who is hesitant of even the good things happening in your life. Step out in faith, trusting that God has ordered every step!!!!
