Year 2, Day 5: For Better or For Worse

Scripture :  Ecclesiastes 3:1-20 Every Moment I've hit that point, God, Where I remember that I need you. It's not that I forgot,  I just start to go numb with the knowing you'll always be there. It's not that I want to be tested, It's definitely not that I want bad things to happen, But I know you are there when they do. I take you for granted on the good days But I need to remember you on more than the bad. Thanks for sticking with me through the ups and downs the good and the bad For better or for worse, We're in this together. Love & Appreciation, Rachel

NaNoWriMo Survival

Here it comes! 3 days away from NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)! This is my 4th year of trying to write 50,000 words in one month. I have never done it before, but I'm feelin' lucky this year. Or at least determined.  2013 was the year that I finally made it all the way through Lent with my discipline of blogging a prayer from Writing to God  by Rachel Hackenberg every day. Who knew 13 would be lucky this time 'round? Now, it's going to be the year that I finally win NaNoWriMo and get my very own printed copy of my novel at the end. Maybe I'll even buy myself the winner T-shirt if I make it, who knows?! I've been working through the book Ready, Set, Novel!  by one of the creators of NaNoWriMo, Chris Baty , in hopes of being prepared for November. I've made pretty good progress and I have a few days to cram the last bits in.   But let's get to the real reason for this post. I've been seeing a lot of " NaNo Survival Kits ...

Lent, my old friend... (Year 2, Day 1)

Last year I kicked off Lent by preaching at chapel on Ash Wednesday. Then I was faithful (pun intended) in my Lenten practices and made it through Rachel Hackenberg's book Writing to God . This year, I'm starting Lent with a sermon on the 1st Sunday of Lent. Very nervous but it doesn't actually have much to do with Lent, lol. I'll post it here afterward. (But like for reals, not like I said I would post my chapel last year and then didn't.) But, as I was trying to decide what practice to try this year, I decided that I would like to revisit Hackenberg's book and see the difference--if any--a year has made in how I react and write my responses to her prompts. So, here's the first one: Scripture : Ezekiel 37:1-3 Dear Rachel, Do more than tread water. Do more than stay afloat. Do more. Do more than what you're supposed to do, What you think you should do, What is expected. Don't get stale. You were gloriously made. Live gloriou...
