Beth commented that she missed my blogging. That's all I needed to be inspired. I don't know why I haven't written lately...a lot is going on, haha, maybe that's the reason. I think sometimes when it's been a while since you've talked to someone, you keep putting it off because you feel distant and you're not sure where to pick up again.
To be honest, I am missing family, a lot. I can always tell when it's been more than three months since I've seen Allie, Will, Madeline, Meggie, Brooks and Jack. I get sad and have a really sick feeling in my stomach.
When we all lived in Texas I couldn't stand it from one weekend to the next. Then sometimes it was three weeks and I thought I'd croak before I saw them again. Then when they all moved away and left us in Texas, the time had to stretch out between trips and three months was just about the max. Thank Heaven for email and cell phones or I'd be in a real mess. Actually, I'm still a mess, it's just not enough.
And then, there are the "grown-ups" in our family. I miss "REAL FAMILY TIME." But, God has really blessed our time with Mom and Dad. We've been able to do some really fun things with them since we've moved back. I love being here with them. I often wish, as naively as it may sound, that all of our family could live in the same town. It would be so much easier to "pick up where we left off." Without the risk of being nosey, wouldn't it be nice to know...really know, how to pray for one another? I often wonder what's going on in MN, WIS, IL, TX, AL.
Blog reading could be that connection for me - if I could remember to log on and read them. I need to make that at least a weekly priority. After all, what I'm missing is Family. What's important is Family. And what's more important than praying for Family???? Not much I can think of.
If you read this in the next few days (Oct. 1), consider this a HUGE HUG and prayer for you and your Family.

I must have blinked...
I must have blinked...
Don't Blink Lyrics
I turned on the evening newsSaw a old man being interviewedTurning a hundred and two todayAsked him what's the secret to lifeHe looked up from his old pipeLaughed and said "All I can say is."Don't blinkJust like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you thinkSo don't blinkI was glued to my tv and it looked like he looked at me and said"Best start putting first things first."Cause when your hourglass runs out of sandYou can't flip over and start againTake every breathe God gives you for what it's worthDon't Blink[ Don't Blink lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]Just like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you thinkSo don't blinkI've been tryna slow it downI've been tryna take it inIn this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' inDon't blinkJust like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster you thinkDon't blinkNaw, don't blink
A Brand New Thing
I used to be a journaler, more than I am currently. I'm not sure if I want to journal on line, but it may be a way to make myself settle down and write. Not sure if I have anything news worthy, probably won't spill my guts, but I'm going to try to get the hang of this and just see how it goes.
Lori helped me figure out most of this. I'll probably need a few more tutorials before I branch out on my own.
Anyway, God is doing a brand new thing in my walk with Him. The truth of the matter is this...Can God be trusted? The answer is either "Yes." or "No." I, either, trust Him or I don't...with everything!! At the risk of sounding trite, I DO trust Him. It's just learning to Trust Him in everything.
