It is intimidating to return to a blog after being away for a bit. Things happen and seasons change and then a writer starts to wonder where to jump back in! Life has been a bit chaotic. There was another surgery in there and all happened as it should and my body is healing again. Our little baby is becoming less and less of a little baby and more and more of a toddler. We are settling in but things are still weird here and the learning curve is steep…some more for others. My parents in law are visiting us and have been for the past three weeks but they return to Belgrade today which causes some relief but mostly sadness and yearning and homesickness even for me.

And extended Advent has begun in my world with morning devotionals happening again this week. I am back to writing. I took a little break because I got some rejections and it felt personal. I wondered if I am a writer and yet I can’ t help myself so I guess that means I still am.

And all of this is to say I hope to return to you, dear reader of the blog, more and more. To carve out space for this place that I love in myself that writes. I guess the answer to where to begin again in the blog is to just….write something. Start somewhere. The words will come. I am sure reflection sometimes happens not in the moment but better reflection happens a bit down the road.

Hoping you are well! See you soon!
