and God winks...with words

So I have been feeling creatively barren the last few years. You know this is a stage in my life where I am growing my children into what looks like grown up people. Each day it takes a village in my heart and soul to do this. My village is the Father, Son and Spirit and every once in a long while, little old me.

I love though that I still get thirsty for words. Thirsty for His words, thirsty for words from books, thirsty for my husband's words, thirsty for the words of my sisters, thirsty for my children's words.

So in all of this communication or lack there of, I love a good story. I love to tell a good story. I love to be told a good story.

Today God winked at me with words.

I have a wonderful friendship with two women. I like to think it is my multigenerational trifeca. We span decades. Each of us from our own generation but ever so connected to each other. We lunch at least once a month and oh, how I wish it was more. I always leave our lunches with sore cheeks from the smiling and a little bit wiser.

Today was lunch with my girls. One friend's mother had just passed away last week and we were talking about her mother, the funeral, her dad, family issues. It was a wonderful time filled with lots of stories. Stories that should be told. Stories that will be forgotten if not documented and not believed even when documented.

God winked at me during this lunch. He told me that stories need a place to be written. He nudged me to start writing them down. Start with the notetaking of life.

So I will be obedient. Be prepared, oh heart and mind, you are about to be exercised.

God winks and I get to tell stories, stories that will not be forgotten.
