Memoirs…

My memories are now yours… on full display, every day and for always.

There are so many times in both writing and mom’ing that I find myself saying, “What are you thinking!?” to the Lord and at the same time completing the sentiment with, “I can’t and won’t be able to do any of this without you.” And I know full well that I am only able to do any of this with Him.

Mothering and writing about your life are both a lot to face at times on their own… doing it at the same time is a level that can only be soothed with the unexplainable peace and strength that comes from the Lord. I am so grateful and with full transparency it is really difficult at times. Some times the writing is like therapy to see how much I have been saved and loved and other times it is really really annoying and painful. Some times all I can get out in a day is a little added sentence and other times it flows so quickly. No matter what it is something is and will be available for all to read. While the writing process is one thing, realizing that I will be exposing the very real depths of myself to any and all that get the book, brings a different bleeding of my heart. Do I really want to do this? Not really but, it is something the Lord said needed to be done and so I do. He has done a lot through me and to see who and how I am now is so lovely, I know that it is our life and these great testimonies that help others also know that they are not alone and more than anything loved beyond anything they could ever know.
