Things have been crazy. Just thought I'd finally make the time to come on here for a bit of an update.
We got a puppy. Yep. It's exhausting. More than my normal exhausting. Then she got spayed and having to keep her calm is even more exhausting than that! Though that night she spent at the hospital was a sigh of relief for us. We got to sleep in... well I should say J got to sleep in. Between having a puppy and a stepdaughter, I now know why mom's hide out in bathrooms! But hey, I finally got my little white puppy and the only one I've not been allergic to!
Besides that my health has been shaky. I got so hot and dizzy at a church luncheon, I had to just leave. Fever comes and goes. Pain, weakness, all the normal stuff and then some. Weird rash on my neck out of no where brought us a trip to urgent care and some more antibiotics to be safe. Lyme disease or co infection yet again? Who knows. I'm exhausted.
So between helping my husband with church stuff, being a step mom, having a new puppy and trying to do normal stuff that needs to get done like bills and eating a meal here and there, I've had no time to write. I used to want nothing but to leave living at my parents house. Now I miss the days all I had to do was lay there, rest, read and write. God used that time to prepare me, and now that I'm in this next chapter it almost seems like the chapter of writing is closing. I miss it, but I'm handing it over to Him and if He wants me to keep writing, I'm sure I'll find the time again soon.
I had a dream someone hired me as an editor... maybe I should look into that... after all, I can do it from the convenience of the bed or couch. I've been given the gifts of finding mistakes (not sure that's really a gift lol), and the situation of a chronic illness. Partner the two together and I've got quite the qualifications ha ha. I'm so very thankful I can actually partner those two things together to benefit my husband's ministry, even if it's just editing sermons and bulletins. It's hard to be behind the scenes and feel like you are invisible in this very visible world, but I've got to remember it's not about me. It's about Him. And if what I'm doing, as little as it may be, points the way to Him, I'm being used for His glory and that's all I could ask for.
How can your gifts and talents be used this Christmas season to glorify and lead the way to Him? Think about that, and then, as little as it may be, do something that will put that into action.
Thanks for reading! Blessings to you all!
