Faith Walking
Just Go With the Flow…
I’m not an early riser. I covet a good night’s sleep, and I’ve been known to hit the snooze for an hour before feeling awake enough to get out of bed. So when I woke at 4:30 a.m. this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep, I wondered what was up? I often told God…
Three Months and Counting…
Wow! I can hardly believe it’s been three months since I worked on my WIP. For over a year I’ve been going at crazy pace, staying up past midnight writing, getting a babysitter on Friday’s so I can write for a couple of hours, and then writing often times on the weekend, not to mention…
Ramblings with Ronie Kendig: Writer, Homeschooler, Student, etc…
Ronie, thanks so much for agreeing to share your life and struggles with me. I was drawn to you because we seem to be in a similar life stage and are playing the waiting game with publication. It is my desire to learn from your experiences and I hope those who read this interview will…
Pardon me while I lick my wounds…
Today the finalists to the ACFW Genesis contest were announced. I wasn’t among them. Secretly I had been hoping and wishing I were, so that it would be one sign from God that I could pick up the pen again, so to speak. I guess either my entry didn’t hold up to the competition or…
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…
Words of Hope and Wisdom from Paula Moldenhauer
“So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you’re already doing this; just keep on doing it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 The Message Paula, thanks so much for coming by to share with me about your journey…
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.…
