Right now I am a fantasizing about being able to sit in a hammock with a cold Long Island to nurse and my beloved cooking burgers on the grill! That just sounds like a fun summer evening to me!
That little dream is not likely to come true for awhile, so till then I am staying very busy and enjoying my summer and my friends! I am also spending a LOT of time working on my book and homework.
My goal for finishing my book is August 14, 2009. That is one month away! I am praying that I can do it! The thing about my book is that no matter how much I fuss with it, there is more fussing I want to do, something I think I should add here, something I should change there...it will never be perfect and yet I want it perfect. I want it to be perfect so that it reaches my target audience and God uses it to help women/girls/boys that are dealing with abuse. I have learned in the past years that secular therapists can help and life can seem to get back to normal but TRUE healing only comes from Christ and I want to help others see that even after we go through the darkest of the dark times we can come back to the light and sincerely ENJOY life and it can be even more joy filled than before, but we need Christ for that to happen.
So I keep playing with the book to try and make that point evident and real to others. I'm someone that has been there so I know. I also know that when it comes to dealing with healing it helps to hear from someone that not only understands the mental health aspect, but has been there.
But aside from my book I am busy getting ready to head West to my hometown. My best friend is getting married at the end of the month and I'm psyched for that. I also get to see my nephew, parents, grandma and bunches of friends! Trips are great, but as awesome as it is to go away, my favorite part is coming home again!
I love my hometown, it was a GREAT place to grow up. The people there are friendly and I always have a good time visiting and catching up, but it isn't home anymore. I was thinking about that not too long ago. It will always be my hometown, but it isn't home anymore.
The old cliche goes "Home is where the heart is" and as much as I enjoy visiting people in WY and I love them, it isn't where my heart is. My heart is here, with my neo-family and friends. When I talk about going home, it isn't to Sheridan.
Well those are just some thoughts I had today as I was wishing I could in a hammock! Enjoy your week and remember to always focus on the Lord!
