Today I sat out on our back porch, enjoying the fresh country air and the warm spring sunshine and began writing. Eleanor was napping and my husband was playing a game with Sofia and Charlotte - bread was rising in the kitchen - and it just seemed like a great time to get to it. The process will most likely be filled with research (you already knew that though), frustration (yeah you knew that too), joy, tears (good and bad), intimidation, counsel, prayer, writer's block, chocolate - oh yes, there shall be an abundance of chocolate! Lord willing, as I pursue this new adventure, I will learn something new - new things about myself, my children, my husband, my friends, my family, and most importantly, I pray that it will deepen my relationship with my Savior as I cling to Him throughout the entire process.
Ok, I know, I know - you are all dying to know "Well, what is the book about?" That, my dear readers, you will have to wait on. That part I am keeping to myself (of course my husband) - my mother because I will definitely require her services in editing, and a few close friends. I would love to say that I will have the book ready for the intrigued reader of my blog in a few months - but I suspect life will inevitably take place and like most homemaking wives - book writing is a slow process - taking place in the wee hours of the morning or in the late evening hours.
As always, I covet your prayers. Pray that I will not neglect my first priorities (husband and children), and that throughout it all I will use this book to bring glory to the Lord!
So....until next time...Soli Deo Gloria!
Serving God and My Family,
Crystal <><
