Life With Us...

Sometimes I really feel not at home, at home. In my house with my husband and kids, yes very at home. In my town, at my church, with those I count as friends… not so much. I just don't fit. So much more at home 900+ miles away… maybe because those who live where I lived before I moved here know more of my history and have lived so much of my life with me? But it seems the people here don't care to know me well. Don't care to discover my past, or share theirs. There seems to be no desire to become involved in each others lives or to allow anyone in. I guess I'm an odd one. I want a friend who is more than a passer-by. I want someone who is truly interested and who is willing to share themselves as well. No such creature seems to exist here. It is lonely in deed. To find a soul interested in doing something or going somewhere with me, would be a treasure. Seems everyone here has all the friends they need or want and I am just extra. Ok when there is nobody else and if t...

My other blog, it's a book, now. I didn't tell very many people I was copying it to a blog-to-book site. For one thing, I didn't know if I would actually finish it. And for another, I don't really have an answer to "why?" :). It kind of happened like the blog… on "accident". It sort of fell in my lap on day as I was looking around online. Then, I really wasn't sure what it would end up like. Today, I received the copies I ordered when I finished and pushed the 'publish' button. It's kinda cool to hold it in my hands :). It's out there where anyone can see it and get it as an ebook or a paperback… I may never know if anyone ever gets it. I don't really want to know. God dropped the project in my lap. Had it "created" in a place where it's accessible to everyone. He can do what ever He wants with it. Does that mean the other blog is finished? Not necessarily. Things still surface from time to time and if I feel t...

My life seems to go in spurts of activity, does yours? I'm guessing that is a normal thing. Life cycling from calm to chaos and back again. There has been "inner" chaos. Things I'm not ready to share with the whole world… and thankfully that seems to have settled down for now. And of course there was the "chaos" of the holidays… We seem to have had a bit of a lull this month. Back to "normal". But the new year brings the looking forward to coming events. My biggest job of the year. My one project is shining brightly at my face and getting brighter with each coming day. Oh, I love it: Missions Conference! Setting the meeting locations, and getting dinners put together… the fun of ministering to those who minister all the time. Hoping, praying that their week here will be a blessing, an encouragement to them… oh, but it gets a little stressy before its done :) Then, it seems, the Lord has dropped the creation and implementation of a new ministry i...
