Sweet Friends,
I am sorry I haven’t had anything new for you to read on this blog for a while. Please go to itakejoy.com and you will see all of my recent writing. I think of myself as more than just a mom–I love being a mom, but issues in my life are just bigger than momdem. I don’t get to write often on my blogs because I am busy on two books that I am excited about and if I am writing on other projects, I forget what I have said on blogs and in letters and in articles and in my books, so I hate to be repetitive and thus I just write my books which I think will have longer reach! Thanks for your patience with me, but do go to my other blog and you will find some recent articles–about love, discipling princesses, giving yourself grace and loving my girls and other stuff. Of course it goes without saying that I love hearing from you outthere in cyber space–helps me to think I should keep writing which I am sometimes ready to quit when I don’t think it is reaching anyone! So all who comment, thanks and for emails–they keep me going. I love and appreciate all of you who feel alone and are being faithful to ideals anyway–you are my hero because that is what I have spent my whole life doing. Now my older kids are having to be alone in their ideals. Keep going! God sees you and your faith matters!
Blessings!

Dear Sweet ((Sally)),
Some days, your encouragement *is* what keeps me going…I love how you point me in the direction of my heavenly Father! I *love* your writings and I look forward to every post you write! I love your authenticity, taking a look at your family life through your eyes, I am still looking at ordering your book, Seasons of a Mother’s Heart pretty soon.
God Bless You, Sally,
Carrie.
Dear Sally,
What a double blessing! To get to read two new posts in one day! I’m so glad I made the big mug of India Spice Chai! You are such a blessing to me and to sooooo many others! I look forward to both your books and pray He will give you many more afterwards. You are a breath of fresh air to my soul. Your words are so full of hope and promise and faith! You point us to the Father who loves us perfectly and passionately and I’m so thankful to Him for making you into such a wonderful cheerleader for us! You inspire me to see the ordinary as sublime and the sublime as all around me!
I will commit to pray for you in the coming weeks that you will know, really know, how much you delight Him. I will also pray that you will be able to find all the time you need to hear from Him and write His words and share His heart for us……I know He will do as He has always done with you, His willing vessel. God bless you this week as you seek His face in all you do! Know that He loves you so very dearly and completely and will give you all you need.
In Him, Jennifer
Keep on writing!! Books, blogs, whatever… They are all a wonderful gift of encouragement to those of us trying to walk by ideals that so few hold.
i always make a few minutes to blog surf here and there during the day. i always keep peeking here for a lil snipette!
