I have been having this profound desire lately to actually write a book. Seeing as how that is not going to be happening any time really soon, I guess a new blog will have to do. I'm laughing inside, knowing that I have an uncanny habit of starting new blogs and then leaving them to sit and collect dust so to speak, sometimes for years at a time. And yet the things currently on my heart just don't quite seem to fit into any of the other categories of blogs I already have begun.
So, here is yet another chance to write some of the ponderings of my heart. I think I even need to begin with just writing about what all I would like to even write a book on. There are so many things... So many things my heart is passionate about. So many thoughts I have and would love to have the time to sit and ponder and put on paper.
I have my love for healthy eating and cooking, and even the prophetic message it contains for me of living set apart for the Lord, and of filling our lives with wholesome and true "food."
And I am so thoroughly enjoying homeschooling and learning all about the various ways to homeschool and educate a child. I love learning about different curriculums and collecting books for my ever-growing amazing library for our literature based learning.
I could also write a book on motherhood and discipline, and all the things God has taught me over these last 8 years of journeying as a mom.
I would love to write a book on church structure and everything God has taught us on this 10-year journey of doing church the way He has shown us.
I have also always wanted to write a book on our generation, Gen X, though now I would probably also want to include the younger generation, Generation Z or whatever it is called, about the call on this generation to die... the attack of abortion and suicide and depression and so many things that the enemy has been using to try to take us all out, all because we are this significant end-time generation who are called to come to radically know and love Jesus and die to ourselves and live to Him. It is as though the enemy has actually prepared us for the Gospel in his attempt to kill us off.
Anyway, as should be pretty apparent, there are many many ideas rolling around in my head of things I would like to write books about. However, if I were to actually take the time to stop and consider what I would genuinely like to sit down and write a whole book on, it would have to be the thing that I care about the most... the love of God. It would have to be a book about how His love and presence has absolutely and completely changed and transformed me in every possible way. It would have to be about the hope in my heart from Him and the vision He has given me of His glory filling the earth. So, I think that is what I will begin writing about. And I guess for now, this blog will have to work for the writing medium for that book!
