I'm Back

Like a step back into a comfortable pair of jeans, I begin the pursuit of blogging once more. I have taken some time away - a bit by choice and a bit not. My last posts landed sometime in January I think, with the dream of beginning a devotional on the names of God. Creating this enormous project for myself pretty much brought me to a stand still. I was paralyzed beneath the smoke screen of failure. I am an all or nothing kind of girl, and not being able to pour my whole self in . . . well, I guess that meant throwing in the towel.

This blessed morning, a very dear friend of mine gave me the kick in the rear I needed to get things going again. She encouraged me to pick myself up, dust off and keep going. She gave me a different perspective, one I hadn't thought of before. Thinking of this as a ministry - yes, that makes a lot of sense. Loving God, loving people . . . all by sharing my awareness of His presence, so strong, so sweet.

The good Lord knows I have an ocean full of jewels to share, but I don't want disclose too much all at once. I'm headed for a plop on the couch with a pan full of brownies about to come out of the oven. Life is good - so very good.

Every single breath.
