Hello Again

Hey. It’s been a little while. As I’m sitting here, I see my last post was on this exact day two years ago. That wasn’t planned, but it’s giving me a good laugh in this moment.

The last two years have made me unrecognizable in all the best ways, and I’m finding myself completely without the words to explain it all. And yet, I’m feeling the intense need to write about all I’m learning and have learned. Last week my husband told me to start writing a book. I laughed. Then I thought. Deeply. I’ve been told for decades that I would write books that would help people. I’ve always thought, “Maybe someday.” Maybe someday is now? I’ll start here, by sharing snippets of what I’m learning in the process. Humility. Waiting. Full reliance on God for my everything. Genuinely listening and hearing what the Holy Spirit is saying to me, even when it’s downright startling and not what I wanted to hear.

Type A Planner me wants to now put writing on my schedule and commit, but Realistic me, the mom of six homeschooled kids, farmer with 20 sheep, 80 poultry, 4 dogs, and a 1600 sqft garden is like, “Commit to nothing. Because it will be sporadic at best.” Realistic me wins this round. I’d like to share often, and I will try. What that looks like, time will tell.
