I was soon shuffled to the exit, by my hungry brood and didn't make it to check out. When I got home I searched iBooks for an hour because I had forgotten the title. Finally I found it and downloaded the sample!! I am sooo excited about this book and now even more so! I look forward to what it will reveal. I am sure when I begin , your blog will certainly be on my list. ;)Hive for the Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610697471782644598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783119705498557355.post-71372886513906760012011-06-23T07:26:59.469-05:002011-06-23T07:26:59.469-05:00lauren, katrina, aus....thank you for your comment...lauren, katrina, aus....thank you for your comments..your words...your prayers. i don't know if there is a way to respond individually. but wanted you to know i appreciate the encouragement. every writer, dabbler or serious, likes to be read. so thank you. aus, the diagnosis of cancer did leave us reeling...to be sure. almost can't be helped. but how amazed we have been to know even in that reeling we were still tethered tightly. not by our own grasping...but by His grip. that's what we are learning. always learning.jodymcnatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722839896493373009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783119705498557355.post-51202106459895730122011-06-23T05:52:44.322-05:002011-06-23T05:52:44.322-05:00Morning Jody - I love the way you write - brillian...Morning Jody - I love the way you write - brilliant even - and I get the feeling that it comes easily to you....I love your sense of perspective....and in truth your diagnosis of cancer and the change it made in your writing was the thing that scared me the most...it told me wordlessly how much you and your family were reeling....<br /><br />But today....well....welcome back.

I just recently stumbled upon it, and reading the entries made me realize just how blessed I have been. I will look for the book tomorrow, and find a journal to go with as I am ready to write in it again. We continue to pray for you daily.
