“I’ll sign the divorce papers on one condition, Lacey.”
Devin took a deep breath. “You stay here at the ranch until the babies are born. Afterward, if you still want me to, I’ll sign.”
“Devin, I have a life—a family—in Oklahoma. I have to go home.” Lacey pushed to her feet. “It’s a wild idea.”
“It probably is, but that’s the deal.” Devin forced himself to relax.
“You know I could take you to court anyway.”

Life is complicated. We make decisions with consequences. Things happen and we’re left to deal with them the best we can. That’s the case with Lacey and Devin. Their situation was their own doing—and they took responsibility—but their actions had their roots in the past, for both of them. The moment Lacey showed up in Red Hill Springs was a touchstone in their life, one of those rare instances when you know that what you choose to do in this moment could change your future forever.
I’ve had defining moments like that. Some of them I didn’t know were turning points until later. Some I knew immediately would change my life. Some I’ve accepted with grace and some I have raged against. I try to remember every single day—because we have no idea when one of those life-changing moments will happen—that no matter what storms come I’m loved by God and His love is not conditional. His opinion is the one that matters. And no matter what I’m walking through, I know He’s there, walking with me.
I know you’ve had to face unexpected challenges in your life. I’ve come to realize (with maturity, ha-ha) that everyone does. No one has a perfect life. But regardless of our circumstances, we can make
