Tallapoosa!

This glorious picture of Princess Eowyn is on my cell phone, so now you can see what I see! Tallapoosa is a river we crossed twice in western Georgia and eastern Alabama, and has become one of Eowyn's nicknames. Long story.

If you'd like to, we'd love it if you could pray for:
Eowyn & me, who are having a hard time settling back into life-after-road-trip. Eowyn gets scared at night, because she is used to sleeping in the same room/tent trailer as Bens and me. (She and Coco are snuggled up in Coco's bed right now - they are such good friends!) I am feeling scared, too, in a kind of non-specific manner.
Bens, who is really sick, and nonetheless working, as is his wont.
Coco, who, like Bens, is very contented to be home!! She's having tests on the 12th at the children's hospital regarding her difficulty swallowing. We have to thicken all her fluids to help her learn to swallow properly.

Bens' Mum, Sue, has terminal cancer. Please pray for her, for healing and peace, miracles and hope, and for Bens' Dad, Ben, and his sister Kat and her Jim and us 4 at this time of sorrow.

Laurel and Chris, who are being married on the 9th. Laurel is doing much of the organising which is very overwhelming. Pray that she can ENJOY it all!
The homeless youth at nhmin.org who'll be in the writing group I'm leading for the first time on the 26th, and me as I prepare for it.
April & co. as they prepare for their Canada adventure (which includes us! Yay!)
My family scattered all about the world - Dad, Mum, Tom-Anita-Eddie-&-Baby, Rachel-&-Victor, My sister Seren, Sam-&-Becca & Emma-dog!
Thanks!!
Love,
Megs

The strange thing about fear is that it is a fraud. When the worst actually happens, eg, when Stephen died, God is there for you.

This is Jonathan, who has lived all his life in Kosovo. Eowyn & Coco loved his company. My ailment has now been with me for 3 weeks. I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihuv5z6nqWw and was much amused. I don't think anybody reads these blogs any more. The only people who comment on mine are Bens and me. Hello! Is there anybody out there? (or is it in there?) I have become comfortably numb... Bit depressed, methinks.

Personal Statement – Iowa Writers’ Workshop

Wonderful blogging community, I'm posting this statement with two purposes. 1. It kind of summarises where I want to be going, which I want to share with you 2. I'd love feedback! They've asked me to: "Include your purpose in pursuing graduate study, any research you wish to pursue, and your future vocational goals." Thanks for reading this - I feel honoured by your interest in my life!! I want to write a novel, with beautiful sentences and adroitly crafted chapters. Since preschool I have read voraciously, and appreciate exquisite writing in multifarious forms. I have natural writing talent, and derive deep satisfaction from creating prose, yet I have spent my life longing to write novels and not doing so. The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Belonging to this writing community would enable me to be disciplined in producing literature. The tutelage and mentoring I would receive is something I y...
