I dropped out of school for a semester, transferred to another college, switched to an art major, graduated, got married, and for a while worked as a graphic designer. ↗

While I am the one who made the choice to enter the ministry, there was a choice before that one, the choice God made in calling me to be his in the first place. ↗

Any child may go through periods during which they become less outspoken with their parents or teachers. But girls, like boys, live in many different worlds - they have their friends and their classroom and their parents - and within these different domains, they may have different levels of expressiveness. ↗
