Going Home To Writing and Church

As some people are aware of last April I lost my wife of 28 years. To say it has been a roller coaster ride would be an understatement. After going through this process, I have come to 3 realizations.

  1. It’s time for me to return to my church. If all goes well that will happen in a couple of days.
  2. I have a right to be happy again.
  3. Writing is my true passion in life.

Over a year ago I met this woman and we talked, but let me make this perfectly clear, she was at no time disrespectful to my marriage. If we were 5 ft apart, that was too close in her eyes. I saw her again a few weeks ago, and we just started talking. ( She is the shyest person I have ever met) Now we communicate almost daily but its nice an easy. She is a talented artist, and we have talked about how we can grow her business.

I know I have rambled on some here but although I am really tired all the time.( I see Doctor this week about that) I am at peace on many levels for the first time in decades.

However, I am going to update the blog so don’t be surprised if you see changes soon.

Moving Forward

I made the decision a couple of days ago to move from my house of over 2 decades and it’s time. You see I lost my beloved wife 6 months ago and I promised myself I would wait 6 months before I make any major decsions. In fact although I have some idea where to go next in ways I just don’t know. All I know for sure is living in the house in which she took her last breath is just getting to painful to deal with day after day and night after night. As I move forward I know my needs have changed since I don’t have her anymore. I don’t need this 3 bedroom house anymore. Afterall its just me and my cat.

So when it doubt pray and pray again because he already knows how this is going to turn out.

Railroad Tracks Of Life

As we go through life it can feel that we are constantly being run over by a train. One can often feel like your back is nothing but a series of railroad tracks.

However , they are not, but what they are is the Lord Jesus Christ taking you through your life’s journey. There are 2 reasons for this happening. The first is to prepare you to fulfill your life’s work here on earth and the second is to prepare you to come see him in eternal glory!

So you can either embrace your train of life or complain about it but the truth be known you really don’t have a choice.

What You Are Going Through Others Can’t Understand

Some people have this bad habit of expressing to someone that they know what they are going through during tough times. The truth is they don’t have a clue and sometimes I think people don’t know what to say. It is ok to be honest with someone else who is hurting by telling them they you don’t understand.

If God has put it on your heart to reach out to someone then do it. It’s a mistake to allow other factors to interfere with what God has put on your heart.

Maybe that person who is hurting so bad just needs to hear the sound of someone else’s voice. Maybe something that is more tangible. Especially when it comes to serious health issues.

So has God put something on your heart tonight or in the last few days then you probably need to get to it as soon as possible because God put that on your heart. It’s up to you to act on it.
