Break's over, y'all!

I want to apologize to you! I have been overwhelmed with school and work, and have not been able to update this blog in WEEKS. I have recently left my job and will have more time to pursue the things I love in life, including writing.

I sit on our couch in the living room with my husband and our dear friend, watching River Monsters, and I am so happy. My "Hayride" candle is burning and there is a bushel of apples on the coffee table.We are listening to scratch recordings from other members of our band, which is reuniting at long last.

I have made the decision to pursue a living as a full-time musician. God is so crazy in the ways he works. I lost my desire to be a full-time musician after a year and a half of music school, and instead became a business major and ran full speed after a career in business. After several years of business school and a foray into the corporate world, the Lord has reawakened the desire in my heart to make a living as a musician. Here's the crazy part: All of that business training is exactly what I needed to learn in order to successfully make it as a musician.

I could not have thought of this plan myself. Who but the Lord could create such a crafty plan, working with the desires of my heart to train me to be exactly what he wanted?

I'll be back with some actual posts later this week, but I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here and I'm in it for the long haul!
