I am just like you, alive, curious,
wondering, hurting, making mistakes, repeating sins and trying my best to be a
better version of me, for Him.
I am just like a lot
of people,
divorced, re-married, mommy to 4 biological children, and dad’s wife to 3
non-biological children.
I am just like some
people,
I like to write, sing, worship the Lord, teach, be with people, and help pretty
much anybody I can.
I write about Life,
in general.
And things. Things
people don't say out loud. Not because it might be rude, but because they have
not been heard before. I have a need to say a lot of things that are easier
heard when they are read.
Some of my
favorite topics to write about are;
My ‘living’
experiences and
the lessons I am being taught by the unwavering compassion of God in my
clumsiness.
Gods Word. Of course, if
there was nothing else going on in my head I could spend all my time writing
about the amazing things I am taught thru Gods Word.
Home schooling is one of those
neat little things I like knowing that I know enough about to write about it.
Getting older and making age
the friend you hate to love.
Being married,
Divorce, Blending
families, and why it really is impossible to “blend” a family without a
crock-pot.
Faith in a
untrusting world
And Hope. You know, HOPE,
that thing you inevitably end up describing with your hands.
I love to write. My
style is rough, not refined and I don't use a lot of big words, because I don't
really know any. I don't always follow all the “grammatical rules” but
sometimes the rules get in the way of what I want to say. And there have to be
priorities.
Besides, English
is broken.
When I’m not writing,
I like to talk, a lot. I enjoy making people laugh, and think. Sometimes I make
them think before they can laugh, because that's the goal. I watch them put it
all together and “get it” it’s a “two-fer” for me.
I must confess that I
do spend a good deal of my time writing what I plan to talk about because I
have so much stuff bouncing around in my head and I need to gather the
thoughts together to make sense of what it is I am actually thinking, and
experiencing and learning through it all. Then before I know it, I have
written what will surly prove to be an awesome seminar or sermon, or lessons of
my life, that I know were never meant for me to keep to myself.
I never planned to be
a speaker, or publish my writings, or tell anyone about my messes. But the Lord
made it very clear to me that is exactly what He wants me to do. So here
I am, doing it.
I do not claim
to be an expert on any topic, but I know what I know
and that’s what I share.
So that is a
little bit about me. The rest can be found on my Blog.
Right now it is
a start up. And I am not experienced in blogging so to speak. But I am
following the leading of the Lord and putting myself out there, turning my mess
into a message in hope of being a blessing to people just like you,who are just
like me.
