Oh ..I know the cautious optimism thing rather well. I feel things growing between my darling and I but certainly the path that all of us travel is filled with surprise twist and turns ..hills and valleys. Throughout the course of my life I have found a good middle ground to reside at. Never dragged down too low or bouyed up too high for any great length of time where I might get stepped on or rolled over in a state of lowness. And counter to that I don't allow myself to get too carried away in the heights lest I should fall from the lofty perch.
Ask the Lord to provide His wisdom and understanding and then take to the Word and read. There is nothing like it. The Word brings enlightenment beyond compare. Hope you all have a day that is truly blessed. See ya.
