It’s that time of our family life again, Dh is deployed to Afghanistan for six months. I didn’t see this trip coming, Dh volunteers to go as a Department of Defense guy, but the call came that he was needed immediately and we discussed it…he was out in 8 days. whew…..right in the middle of two of my business busiest weeks of the year.
Time this week has been spent on being with just now a senior in high school boy. He’s excited about being a senior next year and Madison is away for three weeks at her dads. Its been fun to just have the two of us to regather our closeness.
I’ve stopped working with the studio in Nashville formally, though projects may still happen. It was time to refocus how and where Dh and I spent our energy and to refocus on our own ministry with people, not productions with products…though it takes both for most ministries to survive. The truth is most words are stolen from us before we get home, DVD/CD’s allow for lessons to be listened to over and over again.
At home this six months, I am focusing on my relationship with me. You know its pretty darn tough sometimes to let go of childhood “stuff” that keeps us from experiencing the joy God has in mind for our lives. This six months I am working on really dealing with some root issues I’ve identified….well, er…God has identified and the 2×4 blows of “deal with it” have gotten strong enough I’m listening 🙂
She’s So There the business is fun for me. Its hard work to market, coordinate, and write for different authors, ministries, and businesses, but its exciting for me to help bring great projects that grow great people.
Hope you’re doing great!
Sounds like a busy time. Hang in there, and hope you are able to find some refreshment in the midst of the everyday busyness.
