Difficult Seasons

This is post no. 100 for Difficult Seasons.

It probably should have been a “heavy” post, rather than just a reflection on reaching a small milestone, but it’s not.  Partly that’s because we’re on a short trip as you read this, visiting my wife’s mom.  Partly it’s because it’s good just to pause and evaluate what’s happened since I started this blog project a little over four months ago.

• I’ve met a lot of good people who have read the blog and talked about their difficult seasons and/or given me encouraging words.
• I’ve met more good folks while trying to increase readership using Twitter and facebook and using Google alerts to find other people who are writing about the same subjects.
• I’ve been able to put down in writing some of the stuff that’s been floating around in my head for several years by adopting a disciplined approach to blogging.  That includes putting together two e books that otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten to.
• I’ve been able to process through writing some of the things that are part of my own difficult seasons, and that are part of the difficult seasons that I share with others as a lay chaplain and a shepherding elder in a local church.

So, what about the next 100 posts?  My goal is to continue writing the series of posts on Caregiving and to collect the material into a book.  Along the way, I’ll write posts on other topics as well, depending on what I’m experiencing at the time.  As in everything, we’ll see where God takes it.

Thanks for reading and interacting.  We don’t travel our journeys through life alone.  Thanks for being a sojourner.
