​On Wednesday, January 23, I came home to find one of my neighbors playing outside with her toddler and Pre-K children. The weather had turned unexpectedly nice and she was making the most of it.

I’m still optimistic, just cautious and working through allowing God to be God regardless of what that may look like.
