I actually didn’t do the last contest, but I’ve been keeping up with this topic anyway. 😛 You picked a really interesting prompt… so I might just participate this time! We’ll see….

Hi, Esther! It’s been a while since I’ve been active on KP, but I’ve recently returned to it! How are things going? I remember the last time we talked (in the summer) you said you had a lot of sports things going on in your family and some theatre things as well. How did the past months go?

Hey!! I appreciate you reaching out. You’re so sweet! 🤗
Things are going pretty well right now! Volleyball made our schedule crazy over the past six months, so it’s nice now that it’s over and things have slowed down some. I’ve started working on some study rhythms for school to keep my grades up since I fell behind in some lessons with volleyball filling up our schedule. And I’ve finally started writing consistently again!! 🎉 Which has been really nice since my writing schedule got all out of wack.
So yeah, it’s been good! Just trying to prioritize my relationship with God while I’m balancing school, writing, friends, family, and extracurriculars.
What about you? <3

Nice!
Well, I’m slowly getting back into a rhythm too. I’m starting to write consistently as well. I’m hoping to start working on a WIP. I’ve also started freelancing and am writing for an Amish magazine, which is very exciting! So far, I’ve had one story win 3rd place in their contest and get printed, and they recently accepted another Christmas I wrote. I’m planning on writing an article about siblings and sending that to them, and also some true written accounts of my life on an Amish dairy farm. I’m thinking they will enjoy reading about an English girl working/living on an Amish farm.
Other than writing, I’ve also gotten back into a rhythm of training Buddy. I’m really focusing on him again, and he’s learned a lot!
I’m also helping my family get the garden ready for spring, and I’m also studying and preparing for getting chickens in the spring as well. On top of that, I’m working on finishing designing my family’s 2024 photo book and working on projects in order to publish my father’s book in early spring next year. I also clean AFC’s (the ministry we live at) lodge every week and sometimes have online farm work to do.
I’m also working at getting to bed on time and waking up early so I can get all these things done! (And currently, I recovering from a pretty long sickness. It’s the winter cleanse.)
But, over all that, I’m trusting Jesus and learning to grow in faith in Him. That was a big theme this year for me: growing my faith. I had some really dark moments this past year, dealing with sin in my life, but His work in me is greater than evil and His is the victory.
So, yes! I’m pretty busy, but I love getting things done. (I’m a 100% choleric. We thrive on accomplishing things!!!) And, when I do get anxious about all the stuff I haven’t completed yet, Jesus is always there to point to me that He said, “Be anxious for nothing!” and “Trust in Me always” and “Acknowledge Me in everything you do” and “I am always with you, so you don’t have to fear”. Ahhhhh…yes, He is so good!
What are you currently writing?
