Ohhhhhhhhh, Spriggy!!!
First, I'd love to know you in person! I could have written every word... as a mommy of 7 (including 4 boys), I was with you every step of the way!
Second - you are gifted, woman! You can WRITE! I love your transparency, your realism... your wit! You're a HOOT!
Third - I adore how you bring it all around to a faith lesson -- because, isn't that what life is about?!? I've learned more about God from being a mommy... out of my mouth will come forth profund words that I suddenly KNOW are for ME!!!
Yes - very humbling... some days I feel I should just remain on my knees, hobbling around, in humble mode. (which beats the heck of trying to get around with both feet in my mouth, which is altogether too familiar a position for moi...!)
Fourth, I'm going to take a risk with you. Gotta share something with you... go here: http://www.themarriagebed.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=3782&sid=9ab78175591707c3d94b0c9d0e225c64
It's from "The Marriage Bed", a Christian website for married couples... all about marriage, and sex from God's perspective. Very fun place - very real, wonderful friendships and fellowship going on there. I know the moderators personally. I've been posting there for over a year (since God healed my libido - my husband praises God for THAT!)... anyway, I've been writing about the travails of trying to sell our house for the past 15 weeks (!) in a "hot" market...!
It would be a wonderful place to share your writing skills, your insights, and perhaps to "rev up" your marriage as well. And, if you're already blessedly "revved" in that department, you could share with other women who are waiting for the "great awakening" to befall them as well!
Trust me - it's a *very* safe, biblically-sound place... the main website, for some fabulous articles (written up in Christianity Today) are here: http://www.themarriagebed.com/index.shtml
Shalom, Dena
