God heals all Wounds
My emotional rollercoaster ride has settled. The director of the show stopped me in the hall of the State Captiol after a promo performance. He heard from the assistant director that I was upset. He wanted to talk and we did. I shared some of my feelings how this was just unexpected and I never…
Life’s NOT Fair
This weekend my emotions have been on a rollercoaster ride. Not the tame ones found in the kiddie park, but the huge, intimidating kind that scares the snot out of you just waiting in line. Brevity is not a virtue of mine, but I’ll try my best… My two oldest boys have had a wonderful…
Feelings of Frustration, Fatigue, Failure…
It’s been one of THOSE days again. They’re still more frequent then I care to admit. It’s days like these that I question my decision to homeschool. Wouldn’t I be a better mom if I sent my kids off to school, had a consistent prayer time, went to the gym, did the laundry and planned…
Before the Lord
This will be a short post because of it’s convicting message for me. One of my struggles with writing had been with plopping down in front of the computer WITHOUT seeking God first. Why, oh why, oh why is it so hard to be still before the Lord? I know the reason for me. I’m…

Writing Withdrawals
Today I went to WIN, my local writer’s meeting. We’re going through Donald Maass’, Writing the Breakout Novel workbook. Only problem is I’m not writing a novel right now. One of my struggles has been whether to attend this meeting, so I went to see how I’d feel. After sharing with the group about not…
The Lighter Side…
I found this on the web and thought a little light humor was needed right about now in the midst of my journey…keep reading for my own version. I Wanna Muffin by Kathy Fictorie based on “If you Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff If you give a mom a muffin, she’ll want…
No Flashing Green Neon lights, Yet
I’m struggling with deciphering God’s specifics about me “not writing.” My biggest struggle with writing had been making my Work In Progress (WIP) an obsession. Sometimes it seemed to have a life of its own, calling me, controlling me, and making me push aside the really important things in my life like homeschooling and family.…
Big Lessons from a Little Devotion
The other morning I sat down with my three and five year old for a quick devotion. I usually don’t get around to devotions with my little ones, but on this morning I had managed some quiet time myself before they got up. When they came to sit besides me I set aside my Bible…
Life’s Little Interruptions
Almost six weeks ago I signed up for a Bible Study with some home schooling friends. I really didn’t feel like committing to another night out of the home especially since my family was already over scheduled with activities, but my husband encouraged me to go, and I knew I needed something to help me…
