It's Been a Minute

Wow! I cannot believe I have not published a post in 3 years!  It has been a rough go, not gonna lie. As stated in my last blog post, I was in a funk, and I mean a deep funk, for some time. I am so glad to be having more good days than bad, and to be feeling like myself again. It wasn't for lack of trying, but I could not shake the blues.  Throughout my journey of trying not to be crazy, I made 3 big discoveries... medication and I are not compatible, I have unconditionally loving friends and family members who walked supportively alongside me for whom I am eternally grateful,  and God is so, so good. 

Speaking to my oldest son one afternoon, I expressed my frustration with the writer's block I had experienced. I just could not find the creativity, the drive, or frankly the enjoyment I used to feel while writing daily. I mentioned an unfinished project that I would like to resurrect, but lacked the motivation to do so.He told me to dig it up and to touch on it every day. Just do it, mom. Ok, I said. And I did! About 4 months later, I had completed my first children's book and am now ready for print, sales and book signings! Yay! The coolest part of this story is that my son has pulled himself from the darkness many times...he almost didn't get to be my voice of reason! But God... God heard and answered the prayers of his warriors! Just as He did for Adam, He did for me. He lifted me from the pit and restored me. He gave me a new vision for a new life with true purpose!

Bad things do happen to "good" people/God's people. And He doesn't waste any of it! He uses every trial to teach us something and to show us how to be fully reliant on Him! Thanks be to God for all our blessings! I look forward to sharing more blogs and more books in the months to come! Stay tuned.....
