Well, well, well




(Adrienne-you like that title don't you?)

It has been a while. Thanks for the encouraging comments about my blog. Here's what I decided: Since I am, thank God, still in hot pursuit of Him, I am going to continue blogging about what I learn about Him and what He's saying to me. I'll keep talking about marriage, and divorce, and being a single parent. I'll share with you my good days and bad and hope that my experiences somehow encourage you.

Most recently purchased book: Joy Unspeakable by Martyn Lloyd-Jones. It's all about the Holy Spirit. My fave.

Current musings: my dissatisfaction with church.

Newest Jackson story: He got a wallet for Christmas with some cash in it. So he was blessed to participate in the annual after Christmas shopping experience. We were at TJ Maxx with my mom, 2 sisters, and niece. At one point, 4 of them were on the floor and Jackson was sprawled out, playing with one of his new Star Wars action figures. I noticed that his wallet was behind him, out of eyesight. I said, "Hey Jackson. Do you know where your wallet is?" He whipped around and grabbed it and I said, "A wise man never leaves his wallet behind." Fast forward 3 days. This morning (4:30 CST), we were loading into my dad's car. We pulled out of the garage and just as the garage door was about to completely close, I glanced back at the garage and caught a glimpse of my purse. My dad stopped and I went through the side door to grab my purse. Apparently, while I was grabbing my purse, Jackson said to his Gdad, "A wise girl never leaves her purse behind!". How's that for wise?

More soon, I promise.

To Blog Or Not To Blog?

I've been pondering blogging. I don't spend much time reading other people's blogs and am not sure my blog is touching very many people's lives. I have no desire to broadcast my newly "normal" life on the internet...it's just NOT that interesting! What I do desire, however, is to let my experience help/encourage others who are on a similar journey. God has blessed me with quite a few opportunities to do just that. I do two things: 1)I take the time to talk with people who are having a difficult time in a marriage, those who are pondering divorce, and those are who are going through a divorce. 2) I have a list of the people that I know of who are going through these things and I pray for them.
I know that my story helps people. And it's here, on my blog, for anyone to read. So now I don't know what to write about. And honestly, I don't think about writing on my blog very often. I suppose I could dedicate my blog to life as a single mom. But heavens, in life as a single mom, there just isn't much time for blogging! Like right now? I should be in bed, for Pete's sake!
So, um, Good Night!
