This writing challenge has been fun and I
learned more than I thought I would and enjoyed the process. With one month
closing, it was exciting to see progress and rhythms carved out and being one
twelfth of the way through.
And just when momentum and excitement built, life
happened. That is life as of late.
Situations and circumstances beyond our control
have changed, cliché I know but there's no other words to put to it and I am
not at liberty to share the specifics quite yet, hence the lack of activity
over here.
I have missed writing and the upcoming prompts were
intriguing but life around here had been 100 mph and anything but lack of
activity.
So I guess this is me bowing out for now, as we
navigate what our everyday looks like. It may allow for more room to write in
the future but for now, I am okay with enough time to sit down to fold laundry
before calling it a night.
Because some seasons call for fun challenges like
writing and then give way to much harder, better things that fill the day with
life and relying on Jesus even more. And when it comes between family and
otherwise, family always wins. If you could keep our family and the entire
situation in prayer, we would be grateful.
The days seem a bit longer and events keep
unraveling and reminding me to breath, as more circumstances come up like split
toes and trips to urgent care and hit and run car accidents and colds stealing
the little bit of energy I have and hand washing dishes for over a week while
we await the new dishwasher replacement, all the while our family has graciously helped us navigate
the new waters.
We are confident God is working and for that, we
are keeping joy afloat and love abounding and prayers constant, for God is
faithful.
Here's to crickets around here and new adventures.
For I am
confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will continue
to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. It
is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. Philippians 1:6-7
