Twiggie Makes by Candace Grahl

So last week was a doozie. And I mean…yeah. All attempts at blogging were dashed any second I tried to muster up a post. I would enjoy - no, LOVE - to talk about it but it seems like it’s so much, so detailed & so incredibly personal that I don’t know if this is the correct platform in which to air it. Bottom line is I have been suffering from depression (again) for the last six months (and those of you who know me in real life or who followed me from Laughing Daisies know this is something I have struggled with for over ten years), until this week when the Lord clearly & very painfully, I might add, set me straight that it was not a depression but instead an intense time of spiritual maturity.

See? Heavy stuff.

While I stand today completely wide-eyed at all that the Lord has showed me in just a weeks time, I don’t want to scare anyone off or jump head-first into a big theological post. I feel like these building blocks in our faith are given not just for us but for others to bear witness to, but I also want to respect the process & share it in it’s time & as the Lord ordains it. So the jury is still out on that one but please delight with me as the Lord has put a new song in my heart to bring Him praise. He is so good!

On that note, here are two other posts I’ll link you to for todays reading. One I wrote for my sweet, bloggy friend Amanda over at Impress Your Kids, a great blog designed to impress your kids with the knowledge of God, as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:4-9. I recently read a book on how to give the Biblical blessing & it has changed the way I am speaking to & blessing my children, my husband, & those around me. A definite must-read as a parent, in my opinion.

The other post is by another dear friend who took my headshots for me for my biznass (to be unveiled in the near future, hopefully, as I get the guts to do so) & their recap of it. Super fun, SUPER TALENTED, super great team at Kellan Studios, can’t say enough good things about their work or their friendship.

I really want to come up with a Top 10 for tomorrow but am drawing a complete blank as to what to do. Any ideas? Suggestions? I’m thinking of turning the tables on you to have you answer ten questions for me since I know some but not all of you & I wanna shake things up a bit. Consider this your warning.
