Being hemmed in, whether it's through a physical condition, or other circumstances we can't control, can so often be a 'gift of focus' from God, if only we would have the eyes and willingness to see it. It's a privilege to meet you and hear some of your story today. through FMF.Ruth Marriottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-23197888683219263352014-04-04T13:54:53.456-04:002014-04-04T13:54:53.456-04:00Oh wow - I'm so glad you found a treatment opt...Oh wow - I'm so glad you found a treatment option for the seizures!

I think I kept my writing to five minutes, but it is hard to keep track of with all of the interruptions. Who thought that finding five quiet minutes could be so hard?! #surprisedbymotherhood :)Rachel Lundyhttp://www.cranberryteatime.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-30966003749287538442014-04-04T13:42:59.582-04:002014-04-04T13:42:59.582-04:00Thank you for the encouragement!

While in college to be a case worker, I was recognized 'outstanding writer.' And I discovered that I actually liked my writing classes (and very much disliked my human services classes...) So in accidentally discovering the writer in me, I discovered more of Him working through me. It's been terrifying at times, but here we are... pressing into it and Him.
