Hot Minute

In today’s vernacular it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything. I moved twice in seven weeks this summer… does that earn me a bit of grace?

Honestly, being back in full swing in my writing chair has been utmost in my heart, but precious time with family and other obligations needed to be balanced in. So here I am, late-February a bit rusty, but eager to connect again.

I’ve got much on my mind, but with so many changes I thought I’d start with that topic. New beginnings… not a ‘do over,’ as much as it is adjusting to a new space, new neighbors and honestly, not knowing where a lot of your household items are anymore.

After selling my house, I tried apartment life for a bit. But after a year and a half, I’m in a new house. Do you know what the key feature was that I was looking for in a house? Could I fit my large family inside this house for holidays? Yup, it was family.

I ended up in a new area, not too far from friends, where I could still meet weekly with my lady study partners. And honestly, I was surprised that within 2 months I have 4 new neighbors joining us each week as well.

There was not a lot of planning on my part, but certainly I’ve been brought here for a reason. And it’ll be exciting to watch these friendships unfold in my comfortable little corner of the world.

I guess my takeaway is: that even when life hits a bit of turbulence, we may discover a blessing as the waves settle. Lots of hard work and walking through an open door lead me here and I feel blessed already! I hope you have some exciting plans on the horizon too!

Be blessed and be a blessing!
