Life is a Song: September 2013
http://leahbanicki.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Life is a Song. So many stories to share. Was just thinking about how a lot of my friends and some loved ones are struggling financially. This is not the easiest time for everyone. Unemployment being higher than any other time besides the great depression. My own family has gone through some serious setbacks in the last few years. Having to settle for making less than we did 15 years ago to work our way back up the ladder. We are on the hard road. the path of most resistance. My husband is back in school...

Life is a Song. So many stories to share. I don't have pretty hands. I never have. My fingers are not long and elegant. I had a really hard time learning to play guitar and I could not reach a full octave on a piano keyboard. I accepted long ago that my hands were my hands. No big deal to just face what is as what is. I am pretty practical that way. Something has built up inside of me over the last decade or so. I have had many jobs using my hands. A mother - to hold and comfort my child. The verse gives...

Life is a Song. So many stories to share. Thankful - this writer's year. It’s always a big day when you get your book in the mail. Today was that way again for me. The box came… filled with something I made. It is more than a little exciting and overwhelming, knowing how much work and heart went into something. The journey to write this book was so much longer than I wanted it to be. There is one thing I didn’t add to this last book - the real thank you list. I was still undiagnosed, in the land of myste...

Life is a Song. So many stories to share. Life - The Big Tests! I was pretty sure that by the time I was 40 I would have everything figured out. I am sure that everyone 40 and over would laugh along with me. I am coming to the conclusion that there is no magic age or situation that makes us suddenly there. that magical place where everything is easy and managable. There are a few circumstances in every person I know that tests them. The health problems, or kid problems, or job problems, or family problems.

Life is a Song. So many stories to share. A few verses to know by heart. Today's project: make a master list of Bible verses for my daughter to learn for homeschool. I started with. 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart. By Robert J Morgan. I added a few myself but here is the first batch. Just 10 verses to get her started. I found myself enjoying this assignment and found a few verses to add to my own memory. Feel free to join with me in celebrating the Word. The fear of the LORD is the beginni...

Life is a Song. So many stories to share. A brave woman at Walmart. There was a woman behind us that piped into the conversation. He is too old for that pacifier! The mother turned while her groceries were being scanned by the clerk and picked up her shy son who didn't want attention. She said so bravely."I know, he was over his pacifier awhile ago but since his baby sister died last month I think he has needed the comfort." Her eyes looked haunted. It broke my heart into a million pieces. Leah Banicki- ...

Life is a Song. So many stories to share. Book 1 Excerpt- Finding Her Way. Book 2 of the series is at the editors, but I wanted to remind people about book 1 if they haven't read it.

Brief visit and a letter of introduction from her father, which was the extent of their acquaintance, it still. Wasn’t enough to clue her in to his attitude . His facial expressio...
