A Breather

Hi everyone!

While I have enjoyed connecting with everyone during the past year or so, I am afraid that I am going to have to take a hiatus from my blog. The blog has gotten away from being a place where I could share some thoughts and some half way decent photographs. I am not at a place right now where I can continue the blog in that same light. There are just too many personal things going on....


For those of you who know us, Scott and I have separated after 22 years of marriage. The decision, at least for me, has been a painful one and I did not make that decision lightly. This has now propeled me into the role of head of household, which I do not mind, but I cannot find a full time job to save my life. I need to focus all of my energy on that so that the girls and I can continue to have a place to stay and to eat. All of the stress produced from these things has kept me from blogging in a way that I want to continue to blog.

Therefore, I will not blog until I can get right with God again and find my positive energy. No one wants to hear people complain and whine, and I don't want to be a complainer. Thanks for all of the positive energy that many of you have been sending my way. Keep me on your prayer lists-I want a hand up not a hand out! God bless all of you and a huge special thank you to R.R. for showing me the truth.

While our struggles are different...I understand. Take your time and do what you have to do. If there's anything I can help with, I'll be glad to if you let me know.

Carol-I am so sorry to read your blog-I do not know what the background is for where you are now but I have been to the end and back. It was Horrible! I think that is where I spent all of 2006 and early 2007 in the same state- just ended at a different spot. PLEASE-and I really mean it- Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your girls. So many times we all walk past the other - not realizing the we all in the same boat.Please feel free to call me -come visit- what ever you or the girls need.
I am thinking of you and wishing you the very best with beautiful days ahead.

Carol,

I am sorry that I haven't stopped over to check on you...I have been wondering how you are doing. When I hadn't seen you around Home Sanctuary I figured there must be something up, but I apologize for letting so much time pass by before dropping by.

I am so sad to hear of your separation. I know you have to be in a painful place right now and I can understand not wanting to blog. You've got to take care of other, more important things. The main thing is to take care of yourself, and to find your footing with the Lord. He's going to be with you through everything, even when it doesn't seem like it. Hang in there. I have prayed for you and will continue to. Please let me know how you are doing, through email or comment...I am hoping for the very best for you and your family.

I miss your Top 10 lists, but please know we will be here when and if you decide to "get back" to the blog world.
