Psalm 119:147
I get up before the sun rises. I cry out for help.
I’ve put my hope in your word.
October 31, 2018
This month is all but gone.
On October 1, I accepted a challenge in a writer’s group I belong to and committed to writing and posting on my blog for the 31 days of October.
There were two or three days when something on my site had a problem and did not post, but this morning – I feel a great sense of personal accomplishment.
I told someone the other day that my mind is like a ping pong ball. He laughed, “I knew that the moment I saw your desktop screen on your computer Janet”.
Truth.
It is my prayer that in sharing my personal journey with you, that God will show up all through my stories and my pages.
Without God, I don’t know what would have happened to me.
With God, I assure you, discovering myself has been amazing.
Learning who I am, but most of all, whose I am – has changed the core of me.
I pray you continue growing in your journey as well.
Focus is a challenge for me.
I often wonder if it has anything to do with having four kids in five years – I lived in survival mode for two decades!
Constantly putting out fires and living like I was herding cats.
But – all is well – even amidst the chaos that continues in my life.
If you would like to stay connected to my stories and adventures, please continue to my website and subscribe. You will receive an email every time I post – which will likely be once a week.
I have launched a seven day devotional there called “Rising”.
As my ping pong ball of a mind continues with me on this journey here on earth, I pray God continues to use me as a way of encouragement to walk beside each of you. I consider it an honor – you all bless me with your encouragement.
I’ll be here – just not every day – but it’s because I’m out and about – living life the best I know how –
Loving and serving God and the world around me.
Rising from what would have destroyed me to becoming what God has planned for me has been an adventure I could never have seen coming.
An adventure filled with hope.
“Lord, come along side of us as we travel this journey. Let us encourage each other and walk among the hurting and those feeling life is hopeless. Fill us with Your Light and Your Hope. Use us, Lord. We love You. We honor and respect You, Father. Amen”
Your traveling buddy,
Janet
