He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV
I have a confession to make. I have writer’s block. Blogger’s block too.

At first I thought it was the hot sun baking my brain as I sat be the pool.
Then I thought it was the torrential downpours leaving me with oceanfront property in central Virginia.
Or maybe three children under the age of twelve being home for the summer.
Which all three combined make for few writing moments allowed this Mom.
Of course there are even fewer being as I have two college courses I have to finish up by August 24th.
However, when given a few sobering moments to myself I have been unable to write.
So here I am challenging the block.
Because that is what all good writers do. They write. Regardless.
Why?
They write because that is who they are on the inside and it is begging to get out.
Who are you on the inside? How is the begging to be expressed.
Pull up a chair and share in the comments. Fight back the urge to give up on your dreams.
Dare to share your heart. It’s begging for release.
And this writer’s block. Well, I may not have figured it all out.
But then again everything has it’s time. I just choose this time to write.
Really y’all I’m just another Samaritan woman seeking living water and pouring out where I see need for encouragement. I am 48, mother to four girls ages 16-26, Gigi to the most handsome 2-year-old little boy, Fibromyalgia warrior, minister, writer, and a lifetime learner.
I am writing my first book, slowly but surely, six chapters in, as our blessed first love has called me to share His glory in my story. I feel lost in that familiar desert place, and thankful for the manna that is there miraculously every day. I am overcoming hour by hour the condemning voices of the enemy and learning to love myself. It has been an arduous journey. This wordsmith journey, but so worth it.
I became a licensed minister in 2010. However, I do not currently work in the ministry. I share Christ's love through devotional blogging. I have a degree in Church Ministry, was pursuing my degree in Christian Care and Counseling at Oral Roberts University, but now am pursuing Life Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practioner Certifications and a business license.
I am a certified women’s biblical counselor through the Extraordinary Women's program at Light University. I am working on their Addiction and Recovery program now too. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment with a wealth of life experiences with which I can minister comfort to others. I'm a lover of a good book, writing, singing, and music, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile. Blessings to you and yours, <3Melinda
