The Artist`s Way

I stumbled across this amazing book. And loved how it connects your creativity to God the greatest creator. It has inspired me to take up writing again. This morning it brought up the question on why I stopped.

I came to the conclusion that there are two reasons as to why I have stopped writing. The first one was that I felt as if it was all drivel and who wants to hear anything I have to say. Most of it is all just regurgitation of things I have read and they say it all that much better. All more negative spewing continues on top of this. The second reason is that most things I want to write about should be kept close to the heart but the lessons need to be shared. So I've been in a quandary about whether or not to write about these things.

Which is why this book has been such a wonderful inspiration. Can I write the things I want to write about in a way that I can keep them close to heart and yet share the lessons and ideas that come from them?

I spent the last couple months working through a few books that really dig into your being and who you see yourself as.  Now it`s time to start sowing the seeds that I have accumulated and prepare them for the growing season. Super busy summer at my house rolling out starting this month. Glad we've succeeded so well so far.

Wish me luck on this grand new adventure.

Strength

Making a plan to strengthen my daughter.

The eldest has always been an extreme introvert. She would spend time preparing herself for every interaction with people other than the ones she lives with. Thinking on it, she even prepares and separates for spending time with us.

This means that school has always been a torture for her. She has been asking to be home schooled for quite a while now. Dad had finally come around and she's setting up the plan of attack.

Instead of going into each day with fear and anxiety, she can tackle it with confidence and assurance.

I'm hoping this adventure will show her the true person God designed her to be. Show her all of her abilities and strengths. Show her where she can go and who she can become. Let her find her future.

It's going to be an adventure because I know my expectations are doesn't from her expectations which are yet different from Dad's expectations. I pray we come at this with the same focus and open communication. That will make the adjustment easier.

Pay for us

Youtube worthy

On the way to church this morning, one girl said to the rest, "Remember when Uncle stood up and hit his head on the icicles?"
Giggles.
"And then, the icicle slid down his shirt. "
Giggles.
"Totally Youtube worthy. "

Which made me smile and remember other moments when they've said that.

Which made me think of all the children out there that are living these moments through Youtube rather than seeing them up close and personal. There's those who are making it happen and recording it. But it's such a small population.

Is this the direction that our children are going?

Just made me realize that my children are so blessed.
