Hello!
Yes... I am still here.
Thanks for your gentle prodding friends. I feel as though I'm finding some sort of balance in my life although it doesn't seem to be getting any less busy!
I went back to church last week and worship led for the first time without Melissa. It was ok. Actually it was better than ok. It was awesome to be back singing for the joy of the Lord. I actually had to stop singing during "Amazing Love" (Chris Tomlin's version) as I was getting a bit choked up. Luckily it's a really well known song so the congregation didn't need my singing to lead them. They do a fantastic job on their own.
There were a couple of "light bulb" moments for me during the service and the healing process has started. How lucky are we that our Lord waits patiently for us to come home every time we drift away?
In other news... I now have a stressed out student in her senior year of high school! At the moment she is a very focused and studious student. Praying that can continue. Steph is continuing with singing and guitar lessons this year and today had her first private sewing/pattern drafting/designing lesson. She loved it loved it loved it. So all is well in her world at the moment. (Thank you Lord.)
Scott is in his second year of high school which is traditionally the worst. The year where they try to figure out who they are, where they fit and how far they can push their luck. It's only February and so far Scott has been banned from the computer twice and had his phone confiscated for two weeks. Goes without saying he is pushing his luck! (Thank you Lord for granting me with patience to deal with this, please help me out with the right words to say and the right discipline when necessary.)
We are almost ready to harvest our first batch of honey! Yay! Steph has designed cute labels, I have ordered jars, and Kym will start extracting the honey when the jars arrive. All very exciting. I promise there will be photos.
So there you go... I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I just needed a gentle nudge from wonderful friends.
Love to you all and God Bless.
Sharon.

Sharon,
I am so glad to see you back. Even more thrilled that things are going well in your world. I have missed you!!
Can't wait to see the honey pics. I LOVE honey. Here in the southern US we (not me) harvest one type of honey called sourwood honey. It is my absolute favorite. There are also clover and orange and a few other varieties but sourwood is my fav.
Have a wonderful day, my friend. Praising Jesus for your return.

Joanie you really must video this happy dance that you do! I'd love to see it.
And Lynette thanks for hanging in there, yes we are still here!
Leah a lot of the honey here is blue gum, which I don't particularly like...so ours isn't! Ours is mostly South Australian Mallee, which is very mild and smooth. My favourite is West Australian Jarrah which tastes like treacle! Mmmmmmm.
A video would likely be very embarrassing to myself and others... ;)
On another note: After much consideration and prayer, I'm shutting down my blogs... You can pop over to read more. Will be up until my Monday! I'll be in touch via e-mail and will stop by to read your blog still... :)
It seems that you are a persona grata..
