Heart's desire
It has been such a struggle lately... There is soooo much I'd like to add to this blog. ("More?? You've got to be kidding!") Most days all I really want to be doing is reading, research, exploration, observation, think, pray, meditate, write, create, etc. For every one post here there are 10 more that I would like to be working on. I don't do well being tied down to a schedule or structure. More of a free spirit, go with the inspiration, let it happen type person.
However, I have 2 jobs, 3 kids, and being single I have all the domestic chores as well. Kinda squeezes out much time for this.
But I really feel passionate about it.
I don't want to be like my great grandfather who was a painter and was so passionate about it that he didn't do so well providing for his family.
My heart is bursting and breaking over this dilemna. I was praying about it this morning and I believe that God told me I would see my heart's desire come to reality. It seems too fantastic to be believe right now... what with my current financial responsibilities and mammoth debt. I believe him though, and I'm going to pursue it.
I don't know if it will come in the form of sponsorship, a trust, some kind of sale of my writing, an inheiratance. I'm not sure. But I'm gonna reach for it. What do I have to lose?? :)

Doug...it will be interesting to see what God has planned!
I believe it as well. Follow your heart's desire, it reminds me of Matt 6:33 what you wrote. That's what you are living and I'll pray with you for it to happen. :-)
I feel this way too. Alot. I prayd for u last night about this and other things. May He give u the desires of you heart as you delight in Him
I've been thinking lately that someone helping me with housework would really free up my time. Haven't been sure how to pay for it. Good ideas weepers...
Maybe a college student who I could help with their homework, doing research, or editing or typing their papers.
Yeah, someing having a crush on me could be quite a complication... although that's sooo hard to prevent! lol
