quiet

it has been quiet here.
for sure.

but, it has NOT been quiet in life.
for sure.

so often i long for space.
time.
quiet.

to sit.
think.
write.
process.

but i have to do those things
surrounded by noise.

it is mostly a good noise.
the noise of a busy home.
children learning.
growing.
changing.

and so,
it may be quiet here.
at least for longer periods of time
than i may desire.

but know that
i, too, am thinking.
learning.
growing.
processing.

and some day
it may spill over
here.
some day.

Why Write?

To Write, or Not to Write? THAT is the question!

I love writing. I have my own way of doing it. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, yet it is a place for me to process the world. I write mostly in my journals. Sometimes it spills over here. I find writing privately certainly helps me figure out what i should and /or should NOT say publicly! Not every detail of life needs to be put here for the world to see. 

Suffice it to say that i have my fair share of trials and challenges. I also know that i have a Saviour who is faithful and who will never leave me or forsake me...ever.  I also have a deep well of joy that is not based on my circumstances, but is based on every promise of God's Word. 

I would like to write here more. I try to carve out time, yet it gets taken up with something else. My hope is to be able to write more of my thoughts here, as i think on and apply the Word to life in the here-and-now.  

for now, i end up quoting other people or posting songs that are encouraging and challenging to me. 

hopefully i will be able to have some more time to write as school winds down.
