May. 12, 2007 - So much time has passed...
So much time has passed since I last posted on my blog! Why? I am not even sure. Seemed at first like there was just a lot going on and not much time and then the more I ignored it the harder it was to face it! Kinda like cleaning the fridge! LOL!
I had a sweet friend e-mail me recently and tell me that she checks for new entries from me and she had missed hearing what was on my heart! That was so humbling and it meant so much, Kristina! Thanks for blessing me like that!
Much has happened in the last few months...My biggest boy turned 12 and my littlest boy turned 3! Where does the time go? I have attended more baseball games than I can count ~ and my boys have turned into amazing ball players! I have seen my biggest girl blossom into a beautiful young woman who is passionately pursuing Christ and my littlest girl work hard to learn to speak correctly! I have seen my baby turn into a little boy right before my very eyes and we have officially conquered potty training 5 times!! (That in itself deserves a medal!)
We have seen the dissolve of one marriage and the digging in of 2 other dear friends to try and save another. I have seen a dear homeschool friend, Maggi, fight for her life and was forced to ponder again the brevity of life! I have seen the body of Christ rally together and support one another in prayer and other tangible means and I have been challenged to look at what I can do to be a better leg or arm!
What I haven't done is find much time to write and that has been sad for me. Writing is a means for maintaining sanity in my life and that might account for some of my crazy thoughts! LOL! Not enough time to sort them out and record them!
So all that is to say...I am back! I will do my best to be diligent and to make time to record the ponderings of my heart and the milestones we are all facing! Thanks for being the kind of friends that spur me along to pursue what is missing in my life!

Welcome back, my friend. I check regularly for your ponderings and lessons of the heart. Whether it's on your blog, on the board, or through your emails, I deeply appreciate your wisdom, your insight, and your godly counsel. And even when you don't have time to write, I appreciate knowing that you are faithfully loving, serving, and encouraging the people God has placed in your life. Through the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs, you're engaged in the lives of those around you. That is such a sweet testimony and encouragement!
I hope you're enjoying a lovely Mother's Day with your beautiful family, friend! I'm so thankful for you!

It's good to read a fresh entry from you. I can see that your absence from writing hasn't made you rusty in the least. You have such a way with words, my dear, and you minister to so many through the things you write. Hint: I hope to see the blog updated regularly. Think of it as ministry- like you really needed one more ministry to tackle, right? LOL!
