I’m pretty sure that if Jeff would let me keep pencils and paper under our pillows, I would write in my sleep. I do love the written word. Doesn’t matter if it’s chiseled, engraved, typed, colored (one of my fav’s), painted, or Etch-a-Sketch’d, I do love to write. No, I need to write. I’ve learned that it’s part of how God made me.

So last week it was a little quiet here on my peaceful blog home, and it might be for the next week or so … but not because I’ve stopped writing. A little explanation of where and what I’ve been writing:

Where I’ve been writing

1. A few coffee shops
2. A quiet porch swing
3. A hundred year old bedroom
4. A friend’s dining room table
5. A generous friend’s office
6. A passenger seat of a car
7. A kitchen counter
8. A church building
9. A wicker couch
10. A rocking chair

What I’ve been writing

1. Facebook posts for Do Not Depart and Come Have a Peace
2. Emails to friends
3. Notes in my journal & devotional
4. A post for A Woman Inspired
5. Plans in my planner
6. Two articles about mothering
7. A book proposal to take to a conference next week (would you pray for me?)
8. A one sheet about EXPECTANT to take to the conference
9. A post for The MOM Initiative (Check it on the 19th)
10. A post at Do Not Depart to share a Family Vacation Faith Journal

When you love to write, when you must write, the settings change frequently and sometimes the projects do too. This coming week I will write at a picnic table, a campfire, an airport, a river, another friend’s house, and who knows where else? One thing does not change, regardless of where and what I write, and that is my writer’s prayer: 

“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” ~ Psalm 19:14
