Yesterday, it was announced that the over 1 billion dollars winning lottery ticket was sold about 4 miles from my house!  As a teacher, I heard dozens and dozens of teenage conversations about what they would do if they had won the money. 

I am happy I didn't win.  Well, I didn't even buy a lottery ticket so it would have been impossible for me to win.  But, I'm glad I didn't win.

Why?

I am content. 

Instead of thinking about how to spend millions of dollars, I took my dog out for a run on the path through the woods in my neighborhood. 

THAT was peace-filled and quiet and rejuvenating.  I am so blessed that I COULD run yesterday and the cool, fall air felt refreshing in my lungs.  Gunnar didn't hesitate to scamper down into the creek at the first opportunity enjoying the fresh water on his feet. 

When Gunnar darted for the water, instead of calling him out, I decided to just stop and look around.  Such beauty all around me that doesn't cost a thing! 

 "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 
I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12-13

I did it!  I wrote a book.  Well, not quite a whole book.  But I was a contributing author on two projects I whole-heartedly believe in.  God has already done a great work in my life simply through the writing.  And I know He will bless so many others through the reading.  The first book is A Few Words of Comfort for the Grieving:  A One Year Companion for the Brokenhearted.   A Few Words of Comfort for the Grieving is a year-long journaling devotional that walks through the stages of grief.  Each devotional is centered on scripture and what God tells us about loss.  I will be updating frequently here and offering opportunities to purchase the book directly from me and from Amazon. November 1st is our big book release and we are hoping and praying to make it to the top of the list! Stay tuned....

Really?

Really? That was my comment on a picture bg_slime  picture on Instagram of George making a gun sign and captioning the picture with "coming to get ya with guns blazing". He also posted a video of him vaping.  And...I am supposed to be excited about the book launch in two days.  A book where I poured out my heart in a series of devotionals pointing hurting people to the loving arms of God.  I am confused...discouraged...sad. Am I still at this point?  We had taken several steps forward to then suddenly take MAJOR steps backward.  It's beyond discouraging. I will choose joy no matter what.  And remind myself that my identity is NOT in how my son behaves.  And I will choose to be super excited that the book launches in TWO days!
