Being Bold for Him

I've been working on my novel this weekend.

I know, I know.

BUT...we're in Dallas for our daughter's dance conference, and I've had nothing but time to sit and write a few words on my iPad.

The exciting part? I've added a new character, Daisy, who is Hellie's mother and the vehicle through which I'll be able to share the reality of mental health struggles in families as well as the nuances of the mother/daughter dynamic. And I think I've managed to pull off "the funny" in the process. Whew!

So far, the words have been pouring through my fingertips (all 721 of them...words, not fingers), and I'm pumped to see where God leads us with this one.

Also, I've changed the photos on my blog posts. I was all about sharing some family fun with you guys, but after leaving social media, I've been way more engaged in "the present moment" and didn't want that to change, having to worrying about if I have the "right" photo. Plus, having to email myself photos from my phone is a total hassle and an afront to my laziness. 

Kidding.

Also, I've reposted some blog posts I had originally taken down. Sometimes, I worry about sharing my heart too much, not wanting to offend anyone as I walk out this Christian life. But if what I'm sharing is truthful, from God's Word, and could possibly help someone, how can I not share?

I just have to remember that following Christ often means being bold for Him.

So thank you, as always, for your patience, and coming along as God continues to reveal Himself on this journey called life.
