Thoughts on Returning

WOW! I needed this break. In fact, I needed it more than I even knew at the time I started it.

You may or may not be aware that part of the purpose of this break was for me to determine whether I would continue coming to this place. There was a personal battle waging in my soul. I wasn't sure of the outcome.

The fact that our internet has now become quite limited due to making cuts in our budget and changing providers made it an even greater reason to consider potentially closing down shop.

During my break, I spent hours thinking, debriefing with friends, praying, searching and wrestling with what my heart thought it wanted and seeking for what I sensed God wanted.

To each one of you that thought to pray for me during this time, thank you from the depths of my heart. I appreciate it more than you know!

In the days and weeks ahead, you may or may not notice a difference in the things here.

However, this is a new place. My motives, desires, vision... even the very depths of my heart and soul are in a completely different place than just a few weeks ago.

Kick off your shoes and grab a cup of coffee. Have a seat and wrap in a warm throw.

I am refreshed. I am renewed. I am re-focused. I am excited. I am energized. I am ready.

I am returning.
