Note; this was post number 200!

This is going to be a fairly busy week for me. On top of all the normal things, we will be doing some extra weeding at the organic farm, doing some house cleaning, and I have some writing projects that need to get done. Sometimes I feel like there are not enough hours in the day to do all I need to do. Sometimes, like today, I don’t feel like I have the energy to get done even what I need to get done.

It is so easy for me when I feel like I can't do much, to do nothing. Instead of getting off the couch and doing something small that I can do, I just sit and do nothing because I can’t do everything. Maybe that is just me, but I am working on not being lazy even when I feel tired. Even if I can’t do all that I want to do, I try to do what I need to do.

I am not sure if this post made any sense at all. If it didn’t, I apologize and hope that you will still keep coming. If this post did make sense, what do you do when you feel like doing nothing?

I haven’t talked about what has been going on in my writing life lately, so I thought that I would give a little update. My book The Destiny of One, for which this blog is named, is in the editing stage. I have some friends that are reading it and telling me what they think I can do to make it better. It is so exciting to see how much the book has progressed. I am busy working on the sequel to the Destiny of One. Hopefully one day a publisher will publish my books.

I am tossing around the idea of starting a closed blog for some of my friends and blog readers (like you) to read my book. What do you think of that?

I have been spending a lot of time writing blog posts for this blog and MHL, and keeping up with the yahoo group. I am also busy writing articles for various magazines.

So, what is going on in your writing adventure right now?

One of the things that I love about living near a small town is knowing and being known by people. We go to the grocery store and all the clerks know us and we know them. The lady from the post office calls us when a package is coming; because the she knows that she we keep our gate closed most of the time. We walk into the bank and have to say hello to all our favorite tellers. I think that the best part of that is that we get to touch other people’s lives and let God bless us through them.

How did we get to know them? We just started conversations with them, or they asked why we weren’t in school and slowly, we formed friendships. Now, when we go to town, we always are bumping into friends.

Sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget that people are the most important thing in this world (next to God of course). We are too busy shopping and getting where we need to go, to take that one moment to ask the clerk how their day is going. We need too just take a few minutes of everyday to let people know that we care.

What do you do to show people that you care?

It is hot and humid down here in Texas. I hate the humidity; I feel like I can’t breathe outside right now, but there is work that must be done. The goat has to be milked, the garden tended to, and the organic farm we work at has weeds that must be pulled. One of the other chores that we all have had to help with lately is herding goats.

What? You don’t know what I am talking about? Okay, all you city folks, I will tell you what it means. When I say that we have to herd the goats, I mean that we have to let them out of their pen to roam and find food. We do this because they need more grass and leaves than they have in their pen, and we have plenty on our five acres. When we do this, we have to watch them to make sure they don’t get into the garden or go onto our neighbor's land.

Well I need to go; it is almost time for me to take my turn herding the goats. I wouldn’t want one of my sisters to have to stay out there too long.

We have been busy here at my house the past couple of days. We are doing a lot of rearranging and putting away all of the toys for a future generation. It is almost as sad for me as it is for Mom to realize that we are all growing up and really don’t have any little kids any more. At the same time it is a little exciting to be able to have meaningful conversations and discussions with everyone in the family.

Sometimes I find myself almost crying because my childhood days are behind me, they were so much fun. Other times I can hardly wait to see what God has in store for me, and where my destiny will take me. I know that no matter what I feel, you can neither go back into the past nor forward in time, and the best thing that you can do is to treasure each moment and thank God for the time you have.

Today, we have to make a trip to town for a few things and then, after we are done with our shopping, we are going to work at the organic farm for a while. Right now we are getting onions and broccoli, but soon we will also be getting potatoes, zucchini and different kinds of squash (Yeah!).

What is going on in your life right now?

Okay, you have chosen not to go to college but what are you going to do between now and the time you get married? My mom and dad thought this question through carefully, because they knew that most of us girls would not be going to college. It isn’t that my mom and dad disapprove of girls going to college; they just believe that you shouldn't go just because it is expected. At the same time, they didn’t want us sitting around doing nothing just waiting for Mr. Right to show up.

So what was their solution? One of the things that each of us kids must do before we can graduate from high school is that we must have a plan for how we are going to spend our time. For me, I spend a lot of my time writing, working on my Bible courses and selling jean quilts. My sister Rose has a very different plan: she writes, crochets blankets for various ministries, spends a lot of time in prayer, and makes beautiful cards, jut to give away.

Having a plan for what you will do between the time you graduate and the time you get married is an important thing. I am glad my parents made me think hard about that. Do you have any plans, big or small? I would love to hear about them.

One of the things that God is teaching our family this week is to choose wisely what we spend our time on. It is so much easier to plop down in front of a movie in the evening than to do devotions as a family. It is much more fun to read that great new fiction book that we got than to read in your Bible. When you are tired, it sounds much better to play a computer game by yourself than to play a board game with your siblings. For every once in awhile, doing the fun and easy things is okay but the past few weeks our family as done them instead of what is important.

It is easy to start doing the easy things instead of the better things. It starts out that we are tired and decide to skip Bible for a movie ‘just once’ and we end up doing it every day. We soon find ourselves doing very little that is worthwhile and spending most on worthless things.

Today, let’s all take a few minutes and make sure that we are spending most of our time on worthwhile things.

Howdy y'all! I have had a lot of fun as well as some good R&R this week. My mom and sister Rose are coming back today, so I will need to get some of the chores done that I have let slip. There are dishes to be done, my room to clean and some other things like that, but I wanted to post on my blog first.

One thing that I learned this week, again, is that I need to be totally dependent on God. When I am feeling tired or down, I need to turn to God for strength and guidance. Why is it that we have to learn the same lessons over and over again? Thank goodness that we have a God who is merciful and patient.

What kind have lessons have all of you been learning?
