I
have been gone from this website since December of 2013. There are
reasons for that. The first one is that my young daughter asked me if I
would "home school" her for the second semester of her 5th grade. She
was struggling at school and was coming home escalated every day and
crying before leaving in the morning. After discerning this over the
holidays and meeting with her homeroom teacher, I agreed. I had to do
research on this, pursue the proper educational channels for the state
of North Dakota, and then go forward in educating myself on the "system"
I wanted to use and how my husband, with his Master's level knowledge,
could be used in assisting us. We did this, all went well, and she was
feeling much better by May and involved with the after school drama
program at her school. She needed this and I am grateful to God for
allowing me to problem solve her request and discern the possibilities
through prayer and reflection. When the end of the school year came, I
thought I would be able to get back to my writing but I was mistaken.
My brother became quickly ill and died shortly after a week of his
hospitalization. He was the last of my family of origin to pass away.
This left me with many responsibilities and, since he had no spouse or
children, the pursuit of being the "personal representative" of his
estate. I have done this not only because of my feeling of
responsibility but also out of my love for him. This has taken me into
the journey of distributing his belongings, securing his photography and
manuscripts, the sale of his home, the paying of his bills, etc ; a
journey many can relate to. I am just now, eight months later,
beginning to feel that I can take some of my time for my own writing.
So, here I am....Holy Spirit called...ready to write again. If you are
new to this site, I welcome you. If you are not, I've missed you.
Please feel free to leave your comments and enter into a dialogue. How
else will we be able to clarify what it is that God would like us to
discover about Him and His relationship with us, if we do not seek out
why it is that He has brought us together. Blessings...
