A New Direction

For the first time in a few years, I don't have an office to go to every day anymore. Although I still work for the same business, I have elected to scale back my responsibilities to the bare minimum. What I will continue to do for my employer can be handled at home with occasional update visits to the office.

Although I have loved being able to use my abilities to earn an income, I am ready to use those same abilities to bless my family and to glorify God. I need to write something more substantial than blog entries. The Lord has been shaking my shoulders about this for some time, but lately He has kicked things up a notch. I haven't been able to write much of anything for quite some time now. I am convinced it is because I need to focus my thoughts and insights toward creating something more lasting than writings that are read for maybe a day or so, then soon forgotten.

This has been a wonderful venue for me to begin to test myself as a writer and I will continue to blog on a regular basis, but my writings here will be scaled back a bit. The deeper writing is going to be compiled into something more permanent.

I am so thankful for the encouragement I have received by those of you who comment regularly here and to those who comment to me face-to-face when we cross paths in the real world. Please continue to encourage and pray for me in the coming months. I'll need all the support I can get. I am not as confident in my writing ability as I'd like, but I am confident in my Savior.

Thanks for everything!
