What a group

It is often so scary sharing a piece of your heart with someone. For me it is so incredibly terrifying that I often avoid it. This weekend I don't know how I found the strength to share my art, sell it, and tell people of my dreams for the future. God you have surrounded me with love. Thank you for the encouragement.

Needing to write

Some things I do better than others. It is easier for me to bake than to do the work I know that I should do. I call it baking therapy. This week I have made cookies twice and now am contemplating a soda bread recipe. What am I avoiding you might ask. Writing is the answer. I have to read through and write responses to three bible studies. I have to write a support letter and news letter about my current status. And I need to write thank you letters. I struggle in these because they are not just the fanciful care-free writing. These are things that are really important and are close to my heart. People always say it is the things closest to your heart that are most difficult to share. Why is that? Is it because we never share our heart desires that we struggle to articulate them? For the most part I am a very outspoken person and like to give lots of details because I think out loud- not always a good thing. To be concise and still convey heart is difficult. Please pray for me.
