The clouds have parted, the sun is shining, and this curly girl is alive again. A very dark winter took me away from many of the things I loved, including blogging. As I mentioned in a past post, I went through a divorce in 2014. It wasn't a terrible divorce, or a lengthy, angry divorce. It was however a lengthy separation; 2+ years. When the final court date arrived, and the papers were signed, I felt a huge weight lifted off of me. I've taken some time since then to adjust to the thought of no longer bearing the label of 'wife' or 'partner' or 'companion'. I started that adjustment when the separation started in 2012, but it became real when the divorce was filed. Once it was final, the idea fit better, like pair of running shoes after a few miles. :) You just have to wear it a bit in order for it to become part of you. Although my identity is not defined by my relationship labels, it is something we wear, and therefore should take time to be comfor...
Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur...
It's gonna be May! Actually, it is May. Thanks JT for letting us know. It's time for a trip to see the parental units. Living 2+ hours away makes it difficult to visit often. I'm so busy with work, running, ...um, watching my coffee brew, ..er uh, sleeping? I don't know. I really have no excuse other than 'I don't wanna', and we all know that excuse makes the cut in my book any day. I'm making the drive today though. I have some hugs to give them. I also need to take a meeting with some long time acquaintances for a little life update. In the age of social media, where we can tell anyone (or everyone) our business instantly, I still believe that some things should only be shared in person. Those conversations require heart and soul. Some subjects should be given that respect; that's what I intend to do. And maybe I also really want to go to E911 for some good coffee while I'm in Green Country. It's coffee people! You KNOW ...
