Why You Should Be Honest With Your Spouse About Your Past

The Sercret to Overcoming the Past
It wasn’t until my mid-twenties that I realized I needed help overcoming the past.

Our transition to full-time RV living is almost complete. We’ve broken in our new rig with a consecutive eight-week run at our seasonal campsite and we’ve begun purging stuff by selling, trashing and donating stuff. In the course of following what we believe God is calling us to do, we’ve told our story numerous times. Our […]
