I'm still here...

I really enjoy my friend's blog. She has the discipline to post intelligently, regularly and she knows how to make her blog interesting. (There's a link to her site at right... take a look at "The Owl's Song" - you won't be disappointed!) I've been blogging "vicariously" through her these past months. As I've mentioned before, time is always an issue.

So much is going on in my life that I don't know what to share here. I'm just going to pick one thing and write...

Okay. That wan't too successful. Each topic that I try to pick opens and expands exponentially like "Great Stuff" : Vision Team, Small Groups, Discipleship, Town Board, Town Directory, divorced child, married children, grandchildren, aging parents, dear friends far away, health, goals, relational stresses, expectations, mentoring, coaching, being mentored, being misunderstood, influence, responsibility, team work, leadership, conflict, did I say being misunderstood? Yes, I'm definately still here.

How about this instead: a photo of my husband and I.

Someone once said, "You always get through it!" Their point being: you do. Time passes. Things change. I agree. So, my strategy is to take a deep breath, remind myself that Jesus is my peace, and trust that He is working all things together for (my) good because I love Him and I've heard and responded to His invitation to join Him in His life and cooperate in the fulfilling of His purpose.

(Heavy sigh...) I feel better already. Thanks for listening. :0)
