Writing Again...

I've been thinking for a long time now about the fact that I need to get back to writing.  It used to be the way that I expressed my feelings; I would write every single night during middle and high school, but I stopped writing after the shooting at my church.  In fact, the last time that I really sat down and poured my heart onto the paper was when I wrote my recollection of the shooting... since then... I haven't been able to muster up the courage to put pen to paper.  It was like I just put up a wall and decided to stop expressing what was deep inside.   I suppose that I've been afraid of finding out what's really in there since that time in my life.  I've thought about it though, and it's almost been 10 years... my life is great.  I'm blessed with a beautiful family, my dream job, and so, so, much more.  It's time for me to face the deep down 'stuff' and just write.  So, here I am, writing again.

And you know what?  I'm calling this stage of my life my happily ever after.  Why?  Because there's really not a lot more that I could ask for.  Even through the rough patches, I know that I am loved by my Lord, above all else.  I don't think that I really knew that the last time that I wrote, almost 10 years ago.  There is a joy and a peace that comes with that knowledge.

Welcome to my happily ever after.
