31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes ~ Day 6 ~ Belong

October 6, 2018

Today's writing prompt is the word "BELONG".

When I think of belonging, I immediately think of my Church Family.

I mean, if you don't feel like you belong at your Church there is something wrong.

Within my Church Family, we have a Ladies Group.  We meet every second Tuesday to share a potluck meal and have a devotion.

I've belonged to this group since I was born.  My Mom took me to the Ladies Group Meeting from the time I was born and I've taken my daughters from the time they were born.

I love that they have this group of ladies to look up to as they go through the changes in their lives just as I've looked up to the ladies as I've grown.

As I think back to when I was young, the group has changed as the older generation passes away but their memory lives on as we talk and tell stories about them.

I am glad that I belong to our Church and to the Ladies Group.  They are my family.  My forever family.

So, I have a question for you...

Do you belong to a Church Family?

31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes ~ Day 5 ~ Share

October 5, 2018

Today's writing prompt is the word "SHARE".

I read someone's writing for today (From This Side of the Pond) and she wrote about her sister and how she learned to share.  So now all I can think about is my brother.  I guess I'm stealing her idea a bit  :)

My brother is only 18 months older than me so we grew up very much together.  We played; we fought; we made up; but always, he was there for me.

I was very shy as a child and I can remember physically and emotionally HIDING behind by big brother.  I knew that as long as I was with him I'd be OK.

We're now both married with kids and are busy with our everyday lives even though we only live 10 minutes apart. 

We make it a point to get together for a family meal once a week, usually on Thursday or Friday evening.  Our Mom cooks and we all eat :)

This makes me wonder?  Are you close to your siblings?  Do you have family dinners and if you do how often.

I am eternally grateful for my big brother, Danny, and everything that we have shared and will continue to share.

31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes ~ Day 4 ~ Why

October 4, 2018

Today's writing prompt is the word "WHY".

These days the meaning of "WHY" is your reason.  Such as, what is your why?

But "why" is really a question.  I have a ton of questions that go through my head daily.

Why do bad things happen to good people?
Why do good things happen to bad people?
Why is my 11 year old so mouthy?
Why am I me?  (Did you ever ponder that one???  lol)
Why can't I lose weight?
Why is the sky blue?

and on and on and on and on....

Do you think when we get to Heaven we'll still have our questions in our mind to ask Jesus?  Like the popular saying:  "When I get to Heaven, I'm going to ask that question."

Personally, I think we'll be in such awe that we won't care about all those "why's" anymore.

What do you think?

31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes ~ Day 2 ~ Afraid

October 2, 2018

Today's writing prompt is the word "AFRAID".

I have to admit how afraid I was to post yesterday's "Story" post and tell you about my issues with Bipolar 2.

In fact, as I went to bed I had second thoughts and almost got out of bed to delete the post.  I felt so vulnerable.  So....  OUT there.

Now, though, I'm glad to have let the post go live.

I have to also admit to being a bit afraid of the actual diagnosis of Bipolar 2.  In fact, I haven't told all that many people in real life.  Why is there such as stigma attached?

I can't believe that was five minutes already!

I didn't get much written about being afraid today, but know that I'm still afraid at times and cling to the power of prayer daily.

Come back tomorrow to read my five minutes on "Believe".

31 Day of Five Minute Free Writes ~ October 2018

I've been following along with the FiveMinuteFriday Community for quite some time but haven't pulled the trigger and joined in.

Basically, each week a prompt is given to write about for five minutes flat.  You then can link up your FMF post and read other posts written about the same word.  It is amazing the different takes that there are on the same word.

For the whole month of October, we've been challenged to write for five minutes a day, every day.  I can't promise to write every day.  I've tried and failed at challenges like this before but I'm hoping to at least join in on the days that I'm able.

The prompt glist is below:

Want to join in?  Go to fiveminutefriday.com or the facebook page.

Happy almost-October!
