This post is part of Five Minute Fridays Link-Ups. Here is my post for this week’s prompt: Time begins now…. When I saw today’s prompt was “But”, at first I thought of all the excuses I make. I know I should do something, but…. Then I was reminded of the fact that in our weakness God is strong. So instead I decided to write on the But God statements that encourage me and keep my going when I am not strong enough in myself. (Which is all of the time!) I am often inconsistent and unfaithful, but God is always faithful…

This post is part of Five Minute Fridays Link-Ups. Here is my post for this week’s prompt: Time begins now…. Today I ran errands alone and didn’t turn on the car radio. I didn’t listen to a podcast or an audio book. I didn’t even have Siri give me directions except on a very short jaunt to the UPS store that I hadn’t been to before.

As part of my goal to write more in 2025, I decided to join back up with Five Minute Fridays Link-Ups as often as I can.

But no, I have thought of writing so very many times, and I simply kept talking myself out of it. The longer I am away, the harder it always seems to return. It is tricky to think of just how to begin again. But here I am at last, ready to dust off my writing cap and try it anyway, awkward as these new beginnings always are. Since it is the early part of the new year, I am still…

Testing, testing…Is anybody still out there in blog-land? I feel like I need to apologize for not being here myself. But supposedly, you’re not supposed to do that, at least according to the blogging gurus. Well, I gave up doing things according to them a long time ago. SO…..sorry I’ve been AWOL! There are reasons, and I want to explain. Last time I posted, I was getting ready to go to the AmblesideOnline retreat. I thought I would come back and be able to write a post about all I learned. But life got so busy that I just haven’t…
