My mind is a jumble of things to write about.
Children out on spring break.
Things that are complicated.
Things I complicate myself.
When Kate said she had a special guest blogger in her email and then
mentioned her child was on break and she was spending time with them, my brain
put 2 and 2 together and came up with my own 7 – I assumed she would share a
bit of her child’s writing.
But my brain is in creation mode, having been fighting
editing for weeks on two projects. In creation mode I frequently put 2 and 2 together and get all sorts of answers.
I want to create!
And I want to read what my children are writing too! (which is
secondary creating for me).
I am blessed to have read many of the things my children
have written. In fact, further blessings, I was in a position (editor of the local
paper) to publish some of my children’s columns. This is a triple blessing to
an editor because: 1. Hey, my kid writes too! 2. They write really well and are
entertaining, well, I think so, 3. More copy for page 4, Yay!
Two of my children were especially motivated to write for
the paper – and they even named their columns – Poor College Kid and (I can’t
remember, to be filled in later).
It is important to keep the good memories alive about our
children. Things get tough and I worry too much about things I have no control
over instead of trusting God to take care of them just like He always has.
Thank you, Kate, for reminding me of the good memories I
have – lots of good memories.
Praise God!
