But Did You Die?

I have been MIA from this blog for a bit, mostly because I’ve been working on a book project. But it also been a season of transition and growth, and we all know how fun and easy those are….

I did my Chaplain training, and now I’m a licensed and ordained Chaplain. Mr. Wonderful and I are also working at our church, so life has gotten more full. And more fun.

It’s cool to be able to be working in your giftings and anointings—this hasn’t always been the case for me.

Like over the last few years when I was schooling my children at home. Lord, you’ve never seen so many eyerolls. Mostly from them, sometimes from me. I didn’t feel like I was doing anything that was making a difference.

I loved some days and pulled my hair out others.

It’s hard to work at something and not see results til much, much later.

My kids grew and matured so much through that season. I had two come into teenhood, and one launch out as an adult. I had to keep asking myself, But did you die? every time we’d find ourselves in new territory with the kids.

And my answer was usually nope. I didn’t die. It may have felt like it when the very act of my breathing nearby infuriated one of the teens, but we were all still alive and kicking.

That book project I was telling you about also did some kicking—of my tushy. I haven’t written a book about my Traveling Circus for about nine years, and it wasn’t like riding a bike. It didn’t come easily.

I’m happy to say though, that I have a new book out: But Did You Die? (Some Thoughts on Family & Faith) that you can go check out. As always, I’m grateful for you taking the time to read any of my work.
