Basically I had to decide whether to invest our own money in this Sung Rosary project or ask for a refund of monies already paid and refund my customers so that I could take more time to fundraise without making them wait. The Lord was very clear in what He wanted me to do. First, I was to involve my husband. Gulp! I had a feeling that was coming and I was afraid to approach him on this. Can you imagine? How strange we can be sometimes with the people we love the m...
