Missed writing. Missed sharing. Missed you!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you\u2019re probably wondering what\u2019s been happening in my life to keep me from doing something that has been such a big part of my life. Well, I\u2019m here to share some of the happenings in my world over the past year.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last time you heard from me, I was enjoying some creative time with God. Creative Bible Journaling is still an important part of who I am. I write three new studies each year for the ladies at Rocky to enjoy. For the past six months we have been working through <em>The Lord is My&#8230;Psalm 23<\/em>. You can expect to read some of my insights on this topic soon.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rocky also had a fabulous Women\u2019s Retreat in February. 175 women gathered for a weekend to deepen their relationships with Jesus and friends. It was a blast!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went to Israel! I\u2019m not sure that I can express what this trip meant to m in words, but I\u2019m gonna try. I\u2019ll be sharing some insights on that adventure here as well. All I can say is, if you EVER get the opportunity to visit that special part of the world, DO IT! Forget all the details and cost, just go. It will impact your life.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My husband has had some health issues, but seems to be doing well right now. I\u2019m so thankful for the prayer warriors who have prayed over him (and me) since August. We got hit by a bad hail storm in August. Still waiting for things to \u201cget fixed.\u201d I landed in the hospital with vertigo&#8230;still experience it on occasion. I\u2019m thankful for medication and our medical folks. What a blessing they have been to us during this season.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through all of this, depression hit me hard. It\u2019s been a struggle and journey, but I am beginning to see some improvement. I am so thankful that God has been with me through this difficult time. I honestly don\u2019t know how I would have made it through without Him. Again, you\u2019ll probably hear more about this.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m planning two big events for 2020. Fresh Grounded Faith will be coming to Rocky on May 1-2. Jennifer Rothschild, Angie Smith and Shaun Groves will be hitting the stage to share how Jesus is impacting their lives and how He will do the same for anyone who is willing to surrender their life to Jesus. I am looking forward to this upcoming weekend (you can buy your ticket for the event at rocky.church\/events).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September 2020, our Lead Pastor will be taking another group to Israel. If you\u2019re interested, there will be more information to come. I\u2019ll try to keep you posted here.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colorado is in a deep freeze right now. It\u2019s cold and snowy and I\u2019m listening to Christmas music. If I could sit here in my warm office and write all day, that would be pretty awesome, but alas, our late start at the office is about to come to an end, so I better finish up here.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for taking the time to read through my thoughts this morning. I\u2019m praying that I will continue to keep writing. I need it. So for now, my goal is once a week. I don\u2019t want to overcommit or get overwhelmed, so we\u2019ll start slowly.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Y\u2019all are so precious to me. Thank you for hanging out with me!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donna<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve missed this!
