I hope y’all had an awesome holiday weekend! I know we did. We’ve been out of town since Wednesday afternoon and are leaving shortly to go back home. It’s been a relaxing, warm, fun-filled weekend!
We got our share of fireworks, sprinklers {aka, sparklers}, tubing, napping, eating, canoeing, fishing, and picnicking!
The photo below has been my view the last 5 mornings. Some mornings clearer than others … quite a fog over the lake in this photo!
I’ve sat outside each morning, early. Coffee. Silence. Well, except for tap-tapping of my keyboard, the chippies running all around, a few loons calling, and birds tweeting all over. Nature at it’s finest.
It’s done a world of good for my soul! And I’m really going to miss it so …
I’ve also done a lot of praying this weekend. I mentioned something in this post {at the very end} and it’s no longer a whispering, but a loud, thought consuming, prayerful request.
I’ve started working on this project … prayerfully working on this project. In order for this to come to fruition, I need to have CJ’s permission. And right now I don’t. It’s a book about my life … which in turn, is a book about his life. And it’s not something he’s endorsing right now.
So once again … I find myself stuck between my husband’s wishes and what I believe God is asking me to do.
I’ve decided to move forward, as it’s something that will take a long time to complete. No hurry, no rush. Praying as I go. I trust God’s plan and voice and know this will all work out for His glory.

I will be praying for you…be obedient to what you know God is calling you to do…He will work the rest out! Blessings to you!
Oh, and I LOVE the outfits…too cute!
sounds like a wonderful get-away! did you make their tops? super cute :)
what a tough spot to be in… between your husband and God. adding a prayer for you today, to be strong and to rejoice in the outcome, whatever it may be.
Very cute outfits!! And it sounds like a wonderful time away. I love quiet times in the morning. They don’t happen often enough!!
Can I gently suggest being careful about writing a book if your husband isn’t on board yet? Especially is he is an unbeliever. If God is calling you to write I think He will bring your man around but until then I think honoring ones husband is so, so, so important.
And when you do write your book I so want to read it. I think you are a really neat woman!! :)
jessica, thank you for your honesty!!! i know, know, know that i’m treading on sacred ground here and it’s been tearing me a bit. i really appreciate your words of advice and will take them to heart!
I’m thinking I can’t wait to see what God is whispering in your ear.
What blessings!!!! I love their matching outfits… if I had all girls I would be going CRAZY with matchy-matchy! I’m keeping your BOOK PROJECT in my prayers.
