missing this...

i know that i haven't posted much recently...it is certainly not out of lack of desire to do so! i want to do this every day! however, i have successfully managed, in recent weeks, to fill every available moment with one of several things:
1) work
2) ministry (and not THIS ministry)
3) making Christmas gifts
4) family (but that's been slim to none, too....

right now (oh, by the way? giving up on capitalization here...i did it in emails before it was popular many years ago, but have always thought i should be more "proper" here. there's no time for proper.....) i am swamped at work, and that's until the end of the year. also, my church family has some needs that i am particularly gifted for, so "for such a time as this..." keeps coming to mind...and i have stepped up, as i hope you will do when your church family needs you.

that said, my days are full and my afternoons/evenings are as full or fuller. it's necessary right now, and all good, but i miss this!

i was so encouraged this morning to be able to speak at another mom's group. that and this is what i love. i'm not sure why i can't spend more time doing that sort of ministry right now, but God knows. i do it as much as i can, and that must be enough.


so, i have taken photos, but not uploaded them...done some crafts for Christmas gifts, but not shared them. i'm so sorry. i love those of you that follow, and those of you that choose to ignore your laundry to read up once in awhile. this is what i am so excited about right now. i will be back in more regular fashion, but it's going to be hit or miss for awhile.

what i won't give up despite the craziness is my morning devotions and workouts. nor my date nights with my hubby on wednesdays if we can squeeze it in (not much lately)...so right now, this is the thing that is not getting my attention. bear with me...

have a great night, week, and *hopefully* not month, before i catch up again...
blessings, my friends.
