Once again God is advising me to cut back. I have been writing for a Christian women's e-zine, Take Root and Write (TRW). I created and penned the column "Marriage from a Distance". I felt strongly about reaching out to moms who are living the married-single mom life...still do. Through this column I was able to reach out and hug these women with my words, to give them encouragement to face another week, day, hour, and to minister to myself as well.

Writing for TRW was such an incredible experience that allowed me to grow and blossom in tremendous ways in a safe, non-competitive place. But a couple of months ago I began to loose the desire to write not only for TRW, but also for my blogs. It was like pulling teeth to get myself to sit down at the computer and felt dreadful to try writing. I didn't understand the lost desire to write, especially after God has brought me so far with it over the past year.

God made it obvious in ways that only He can that I was to end my writing stint with TRW. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but I was determined to be obedient to my Father. I have also felt the tug to let my other blog (Focus Findings) go. Yes, Lord. On May 31st I will officially shut down that blog.

I was concerned for what was to become of this blog. God told me to hold on to it. So I have. He has also told me that He is going to do wonderful things here! I don't know if the wonderful things are for the reader, myself, or both. At this point, it has been very therapeutic for me to be able to share my story over the past week. How glorious to remind myself of God's wonders working in my life.
