Yeah, it’s been a while. Originally I imagined this imposed hiatus would be a week or two.
We plan – God laughs.
It turns out I’d carried a lot more baggage home with me than I’d realized. And surprise, I’d gotten so used to carrying it all I hadn’t noticed the the weight. As it happens, hurting my arm and shoulder wasn’t entirely a bad thing. I had to lay a few things down and I’ll tell you, sometimes doing that right can be a long process. I’m determined to stick with it and not need to do this again!
Still, I enjoy my new life on the ranch, despite how it humbles me – daily. So much to learn, such astounding lessons.
I finish the chores early in the day so I’m back to work on my chapters now: Write – edit – edit – edit – submit.
I don’t have my head around my new What’s Next format – yet – but I don’t want anyone wondering if I’ve gone off the rails either.
So for now, enjoy the link to what feels like my life’s sound track from Mandisa and keep checking in!
“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT)
Love the soundtrack Roo! It sends such a good vibe.

It is…I have had health crises, primarily heart disease/heart attack and serious neck issues–so know how it can be. We come to know our bodies much more deeply than we imagined we would. And to trust in time and prayer, as clearly you do. I’m fascinated by your ranch experience, look forward to hearing more.

Thanks for your insights. We truly need eternity. Three score and ten is not nearly long enough to get it all right.
