Recently, my family and I drove from Florida to the UP of Michigan. Normally a 24-26 hour drive in a car, but in a big rental truck towing the car, about 30 hours. It was not exactly pleasant, but not the worst experience ever. We also took Goldie, our miniature Golden Retriever, and incidentally,  the "best dog in the world," along with us. About every 2-3 hours we would stop to get gas or take a break. At this point we would put the leash on the dog, carry her out of the truck (it was a big, high…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/big-d-s-news/blog/6136607/relax-i-m-just-taking-you-to-the-next-place">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>What in the world is God doing? Maybe it's not Him at all, maybe it's just me making mistakes..You be the judge
My husband, son and I are in Northern Michigan at the moment remodeling our house up here. We came to the U.P. driving a huge Penski Truck with a trailer for our car. It was a one way trip for the truck and trailer that we would drop off in Iron Mountain, about two hours away from where we are staying.

Text: Jn. 15:4-5, Gal.5:22-23, Phil.2:13, Matt.6:33

In my years as a Christian I've come to this "new year's resolution" thing more than 20 times. Frankly, the more I try to force myself to change, by the will of my flesh, the more it seems to end in utter failure and ultimately discouragement for me. On the other hand, when I am "led" by the Holy Spirit (Who lives inside of me) to change a pattern in my life,
