OPTIONS: I Like Options

We have lived in a few small towns: Edwardsville, Kingman, Payson. One of my pet peeves of small town living was the lack of options. I may not need some particular option, I just like knowing it's there if I want it.

Believe it or not this is the mural that was painted on my church building in Kingman. Actually, it looked wonderful - but you have to like a rural western town to enjoy life there.

In all of those places I was frustrated by lack of options. Like malls, coffee shops, good bagels and great fabric. There was also an undercurrent of frustration of options for me personally. I have explored a lot of education possibilities, work situations and places to live. Some might suggest I change my mind frequently.

But there have been a few constants: following Jesus, love for learning, writing, and must have creative outlet.

And of course coffee...and chocolate. Friends, and working out. So really, I'm not so wishy washy as some might suggest.

Some great new things are coming together where I will have those things I consider "musts". One is being accepted at NAU in a professional writing program and potentially pursuing an MA in English.

Next is the soon to start up online retail business with fabric, patterns and select handmade items.

You see, this is how God wired me -- to be creative, to like variety, and to share what's going on in my spiritual journey with others. Sometimes I get to find out what's going on in their's.


I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14
