My Blogging Lapse

My last post was in July. That seems like a long time ago and much has happened in that time. We had just come home from vacation and life was good! It was summertime after all and that is my favorite time of the year. I had much to look forward to and many plans to complete before Fall and all the obligations that brings. I wanted to get the most out of the last days of summer as possible.

But now I don't even remember August or September. I only completed a few of my projects. Some I will share at a later time. Some projects we did to give us something else to think about. Things didn't happen as we thought they would. Instead a bombshell was dropped on us. Or at least that was how it felt.

We were told of a situation in a family's life that was devastating to us. We couldn't really do anything about it, but our thoughts were consumed by it. We just could not let it go. We talked about it, thought about it, agonized over it, prayed over it, and got stuck in it.

Even though life went on, and we did what we needed to, we didn't do a lot of extras. My blog got lost because I figured I would bleed all over the pages or tears would stain my computer. How's that for dramatic? My life was ruled by drama and some days it still is.  I couldn't share about what was happening because it wasn't my story to tell. It still isn't. At least not yet. Maybe someday. Maybe not. It all depends on what happens next.

So my blogging lapse had a reason. I love to write and I did. I just didn't share any of what I wrote. But it is time for me to write again and to share. I have things to say! Some of it will come from experiences; some from my deepest places. Some will come from my pain; some will come from the joys in my heart, but it will all be me and will be my story.
