A Need for Restoration

Hi there,

Please forgive my longer-than-expected absence from the blogging world. Lately, my life has consisted of a whirlwind of events that have all brought me to a state of tiredness and the longing for restoration and a bit of peace. It seems these days, that once I do get a "break", that it's only a few days of rest until the next curveball hits. Honestly, I wouldn't usually be too open about my sufferings but I just wanted everyone to know that I may continue to be MIA for a bit, while I regroup and find a healthy place to begin blogging again.

Those who would like to be updated on my life and/or ask how they can keep me in their prayers are welcome to reach out, though I may not be able to share every little suffering with you. I am learning about this thing called "sharing your burdens" with others. I tend to be much more comfortable listening to other peoples' problems than sharing my own but I am slowly learning and growing in this area. It truly isn't healthy to keep everything bottled away, only for it all to haunt you later and burst unexpectedly. I do believe God will bring good things from the "storms" in my life, but since I am currently in the midst of it all, I am having a hard time seeing the "light at the end of the tunnel" (not to sound too "emo"). Prayers and encouragement are most appreciated, as always. :)

All this said, I do miss blogging and feel like it is a wonderful outlet for storing and sharing my thoughts and feelings about things that matter to me. If there are any of you who have some ideas for future blog posts that I could write-please let me know. On a side note- I recently finished reading a biography on Princess Diana, and am currently reading one on Grace Kelly and her life with Prince Rainier. I may write a random post on that shortly since they have been rather intriguing reads for me (I never thought I would enjoy biographies so much-though they are sadder than I ever imagined).

Blessings,
Anna
