Jewells of Thought

Time has just flown by. This week I got a memory from Facebook on Thursday. A lady from church was asking me about my Uncle and his predicament, and posted that she just got the prayer chain call about it. This post is now 11 years old now and besides my uncle being gone so is she. Becky even sang ‘People Need the Lord’ at his funeral.

It took me a little bit to decipher what I just wrote out back on Thursday though. That last week of September and the first of October was a roller coaster of emotions for our family. I know it was a really difficult time for me especially afterwards. I became depressed as much as I dislike saying that word. Reading was the only thing that brought me out of that funk.

Time and reading was how I was able to heal. Some moments with a cute baby girl helped as well, when we were able to see her awake. I literally have a hundred photos of her asleep because that was the only time we saw her.

Now 11 years later all that reading has allowed me to use my analyzing skills. It has all helped me in writing like I have been able to do this year. I would never have believed I could write like this making a routine of 4 articles a day except on weekends.

Writing was never something I saw myself doing other than a hobby and for my family. Time changes things. Publishing over 500 articles going by my own set of rules and writing about my passions has been such an incredible experience.

This year sharing my personal family requests was hard, but felt necessary. I believe it helped to put the request out and let others who would pray for our family online for them to do so.

It doesn’t seem like it should be October tomorrow.
