I'm back,

I know it's been another long time, but obviously Fantasy has been nibbling at the story I gave her.  She has grown about a half an inch, and I am thankful for that.  Her colors are still pale, but I think I can revive her with my visits, and with some short stories.  This is going to be a blog for some of the short stories which will end up as chapters (or just background) for my novels. 

Fantasy zooms to my palm, and signs to me, "You're back!  I thought you were going to leave me forever this time!"

I sigh in response, "No Fantasy.  You're a part of me, just as I am a part of you; I couldn't leave you even if I tried.  You have brought a deeper understanding of the five girls in the Elementals series, and eventually I'll be sharing their backgrounds with you."

"I can hardly wait!" I am amazed at how I can understand her signing.  My knowledge is so rudimentary, that I would think that I would have trouble, but not so.  Second, she is only an inch tall.  I am legally blind.  How was I able to understand?  Maybe it's because she is a part of me.

"Hopefully it will be soon Fantasy.  I will at least try to come talk with you this week." I look around me.  Green is starting to come to the forest, the same as in Edmonton.  "I WILL nurse you back to health!"

She smiles.

Hi Fantasy.

Hi Michelle.  Long time no see.

Yes.  Lots has happened in the past week.  I am now the literature page editor for the Rat Creek Press, plus things are opening up for my ministry.  I have a lot to think about.


Oh?  Like what?

Like which direction Heart's Alive is supposed to go.  I have some ideas, and with the help of my church, I will be able to carry one of those directions out.

Oh, I see.

I also got thrown off by Christmas, and I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things if not this Saturday, which I doubt, then for sure the next.


Why don't you think we'll be getting together on Saturday?

Well, I am volunteering in the prayer room for Breakforth Canada.  It happens every year, and I really enjoy it.  I'm doing things all day.


Wow, that sounds like fun.

It's fun and challenging at the same time.  I really get a booster shot when I do God's work at Breakforth.


That's good.

By the way, thank you for digging in the earth a lot this week...well, you and the Lord.

She giggles.  Thank you, but that's what I do best.  Wht did you like most?

Everything.  The Lord showed me the copy of a dream I wrote down, and you took it from there.  Then, you both showed me how the Game planet could go and its theme.  Then I was able to go back to my book.  I'm truly grateful for that.


She giggles again, No problem.  Like I said, that's what I do best, and when I'm with my Master, it's all the more fun.

I smile at her, and I feel so encouraged.  I feel that interacting with Fantasy has been the best thing I have ever done.  She is still rummaging around in the earth, and I am so glad of the seeds she and the Lord are planting.
