I'm Baaacccckkkkk...............

I apologize for the long hiccup in between posts.  It seems my life has been quite upside down for the last while.  I needed to focus on many things at one time and unfortunately, I have neglected my blog, which happens to be very important to me and very close to my heart.  Please, forgive me.  I hope things have settled down, at least somewhat, now and I can get back to writing what God lays on my heart here.

I have felt torn and anxious about being away.  The blog enters my mind often, and I regret I have lost some of the information that bubbled to the surface that needed to be recorded here during my time away.  I will be in prayer that God would reveal more of that in His perfect time.

I strongly believe that the offerings here are lessons, or morsels of insights, that God is revealing to me in the right time and place, and I pray that some of them (selfishly many of them, honestly) may be helpful to you as well.

I have sincerely been frustrated about our inability to schedule our next retreat until just this week.  There were some roadblocks and obstacles that seemed to continue getting in the way of scheduling, which as the leader/planner/organizer of the retreats, was extremely annoying.  I have decided that instead of belly aching about it, and complaining, that I will instead revel in the fact that it now is scheduled and trust that for whatever reason, God's plan was for it to wait a bit, while things were sorted out.

We are now scheduled for May 30th--June 1st, 2014 for our Spring retreat.  I am thankful to finally be back in the books and looking forward to serving my heavenly Father in this way!!

At church this morning, the pastor was asking if God had shown us a vision of what He wanted our future to be and if we were working on getting where we needed to be in fulfilling that role in our lives, whatever it was.  I was thinking of God's calling in my life for post-abortion ministry and thinking about all that God has laid on my heart in do in this ministry.  I can honestly say I have a long way to go.  There is much to do, and Lord willing, I will do my best.  I pray that God will use the skills, talents and gifts that He has given me to reach out to those in need of healing following their regretted abortion choices.

Pray for me, as I seek to fulfill all that He has called me to do.  Pray that I will be able to do what is asked and take care of the necessary obligations in my life as a wife, mother and counselor as well.  Indeed, there is much to do.
