I’ve been pondering a book idea for the last month. It is about the life of a friend who was adopted as an infant and the journey through that…..I am not sure how to begin. Do I begin at the airport as we waited with her to meet her birth mother for the first time in 37 years? Do I begin at the beginning with her birth to an unwed mother? Do I begin inthe middle when I met her the first time? Do I write it in her voice, in third person?
It is a beautiful story of a seemingly rejected baby adopted by catholic parents, undetermined ethnicity and the struggles that came with that….the emotions that shaped her personality….her constant desire to be liked by everyone…her strong tendacies to take up arms for the mistreated…her struggles with relationships…losing her birth father…questioning her faith….finding God….learning to walk by faith, but with a constant yearning to find that person who gave her life. Where to begin? I am up for suggestions.

"About you"? It is hard to declare any one thing or even a few things that would be of any interest to anyone! I love God. I know that I am His child, and I waver between being totally overwhelmed with His love, grace and mercy in my life, to being overwhelmed with how fast life is passing and how bad a job I have done at living this life He has given me. I often wonder if anyone else is out there walking around trying to act normal (which, if I may insert here, is really a relative term to everyone...what is normal?). About me? I am complicated! I love God with all my heart and want to serve Him with all my heart and want to do something important with all my heart and yet, this life I live everyday, doesn't seem to line up with that. More than anything - I want to be a published writer. I want to have the time to go to places that are surrounded by the sound of crashing waves and breezes and just listen. Or, to sit on a deck of some remote cabin and listen to the whisper of God's voice in the trees. I wonder.....I wonder if those moments will ever come?
