SCHOOL DAYS

Well, this is a new experience. Having been a homeschool mom for the last two and a half years, I have just sent my babies off to school for the first time. All guilt aside, the time I have to stay home and be a writer has amazed me. Daily I accomplish goals that before would have taken me a lifetime. And my babies absolutely love school. They know that if that changes, I would be more than happy to homeschool them again. I think that makes it easier for them to know they have a back up plan if school gets to be too difficult or peer pressure gets to be too great. They seem really well adjusted and I thank God for them every single day.

I have four writing projects in for submission right now just waiting for approval. I love the whole process, but sometimes wonder if God hasn't called me to write music instead. All the signs lead to it. Sometimes it is so hard to see what He would have us do. I spend a lot of time trying to figure that out. I want to make sure songwriting isn't my goal, but His before I begin actively pursuing it. I long for a way to get through to people..to make them see that it isn't difficult to experience peace and life doesn't have to be full of turbulence all the time. So many people are suffering. How can I help? My life was so full of turbulance for so long (most of which I helped make even bumpier than it needed to be!)..how do I show folks I have been there and God brought me through it?
