God's got you coveredOn the tail end of working 12 hour days during my first pregnancy, I fell down and broke my foot. Suddenly life stood still as I grappled with the reality of not being able to walk or drive a car.

I had worked for months organizing a conference for a non-profit organization. After it was over, I still had follow-up work. Now all I could do was sit at home and keep my yellow cast elevated. After two weeks, there was still no way I could drive with that cast. It would take my husband an extra hour and a half to drop me off at work and pick me up each day.

When Craziness Gives Way to Grace

October 3, 2013 by betsydecruz Leave a Comment

DSCN7681Last week was crazy week at my house.  Actually, maybe every week is crazy week, but last week the craziness exceeded normal limits.  Monday night I hosted a bridal shower for 35 women, Wednesday night 20 people came over to plan a community service project, Thursday I helped with a wedding rehearsal and went to the dinner afterwards.
