A Full Plate

I have so many partial drafts for this blog. Things I want to share, discuss, explore. However, these days a few other things out of the norm are taking up most of my time. Things like…

  • Pack up my thousand-plus books and the rest of the house
  • Move to a neighboring city
  • Travel to Cozumel, Mexico for our first wedding anniversary
  • Host company
  • Plan for our reception (if you are on Facebook, message me and I’ll invite you to see the event page)
  • Be first-look editor for dad as he writes a book on D.L. Moody for Moody Press
  • Write, compile, and revise my new book tentatively titled Behind the Glass Wall
  • Continue work on Quest, though the above tasks are stealing most of my energy these days
  • And that doesn’t include the more important tasks of being a wife, parent, and homemaker, as well as other regular commitments.

So if I’m not around much the next couple months, thanks for still coming by to visit in awhile. And there will probably be a few posts here and there. We will be back!

Natalie,
Blessings to you in your busy-ness, from my own… I never replied to your FB invite—I’m afraid it will have to be with our apologies and regrets over not being able to attend… We’ll be calving by then, and staying quite close to home to watch over the cows. God be with you,
Ruth

Hi I just found your blog on Bethany’s blog! Sometime last year a friend of mine gave me some old Hope Chest magazines. I have read many of your articles and enjoyed them very much. Then I saw you on Bethany’s blog and I thought that is looked like well…you:) I thought it was pretty neat! Can I ask you a couple more questions…? I was wondering if they still do Hope Chest? What are the editors doing now? I am not sure if they have had any more, but the ones that were in the articles of the magazines are Farlight and Clarie Meyer. She gave me the last ones that they were the editors. Then I have a couple when Anne and Laura were the editors. Do any of them have blogs. Thank-you! Blessings!

Hello Desiree,
HopeChest is no longer being published. I cannot say what the former editors are doing now; if they have public blogs someday maybe they will share. As far as I know none of them have blogs at this time. I know that’s not terribly helpful or encouraging, but that’s the best information I have. Enjoy your Hopechest back issues!

Girls, most of the HC editors can be found on Facebook now (Fairlight, Claire, Elizabeth, Laura & Anne Marie). The magazine may be no more, but its blessed memory will encourage many young ladies for years to come!

You certainly do have a full plate!
Wishing you a good move and a safe and fun trip to Mexico!
Is there any way non facebook users can see your reception event page?

  Natalie (Nyquist) Ference wrote @

I’m afraid not, Jaclynn. The most I can do is email you the actual invitation. I’ll do that!
