Lately

One of my favorite memes that I don't do often enough is As of Late, hosted by CrittyJoy. This one makes me pause and think about all that's gone on in the past month and look for what's been going on below the surface.

Lately, I've been caught in a bank of cotton candy. It's slowed me down and made me think. And rest.

Lately, letting go has become a good thing. A doable thing.

Lately, evaluating and analyzing has been a daily thing.

Lately, staying away from the computer has been oh-so easy to do. A wonderful change of pace.

Lately, I've been looking back in preparation for looking forward.

Lately, I've been in my cave, recharging.


So tell me, what have you been doing as of late?

As of Late

 This is one of those memes I love. It only happens on the third Thursday of the month (which is why I almost always forget it. ugh.) and it always makes me pause and contemplate what's really going on--yanno, what's going on deep-down inside. It's a journey as I peel back layers to find it.

• Lately crunch time has settled on me and I'm feeling the need to increase my productivity.
• Lately I've been editing an old project and doing character creation on a new, short project that sprang up on Monday. And loving both.
• Lately it's a struggle to keep from freaking out over what I still need to prepare for the Faithwriters conference. I'll be glad when both sessions are ready to roll.
• Lately organization has been a big thing for me. It's paying off.
• Lately I've drifted from something that I need like water.

And therein lies the crux of the issue for me. Time spent in God's Word is crucial and yet I've let that slide. It explains much. Pastor Mike said once (at least) that when you find you've strayed from the path you need to turn around and go back to where you stepped off and take care of things there. Then you can move forward again. I did that this last week and worship on Sunday was a balm to my soul. I'm so thankful for my church. Even more, I'm thankful for God's patience and mercy and forgiveness. Where would we be without those?

So tell me, what have you been doing lately?

Lately

One of my favorite memes is As of Late, but I almost always miss it. I would've missed it this week too except I'm sneaking in late. ;-)


Lately I haven't been blogging much.

Sometimes the things in the heart need to be held close a little longer.

Lately I've learned you can worship God through the night

yet feel like you're walking alone during the day.

Lately immersing myself in God's Word

has been one of the few things that brings me peace.

Lately learning the Name of God has become a deep desire.


Lately I've refused distractions so I can get a manuscript off my plate.


Lately I've rediscovered that I can learn as I simply read (and relax while doing it).


Lately I've felt disconnected and disjointed.

But God has been holding me together as only He can.

Lately I've been thinking it's high time I came out of my cave.

So tell me,

What's been going on in your life?

I've missed you, my friends.

As of Late

One of the memes I've enjoyed in the past was "As of Late" hosted by Kristen Schiffman of Exemplify. She's brought it back and I love it! The actual date was yesterday, the 15th of the month, but I'm going to jump in late anyway cuz I like it that much. Join us at Kristen's for links to other As Of Lates. =]

Lately I've been tugging on a closed door. But I finally wised up.

Lately I've been editing until I'm bleary eyed.

Lately I've been grateful that I'm responsible only for obeying God and He's responsible for the results of that obedience.

Lately I've been praying for softening and softness.

Lately change has been hounding me. My dad. My kids. My writing. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He's still the same as He was in the days of Joshua and Gideon.

Lately I cling to God's sovereignty and ask for His best and grace for each moment.

So tell me, what have you been doing of late?
