Endometriosis Awareness Month: Painful Periods & Infertility

March 15, 2021September 14, 2021 - The Country Wife Leave a comment

If you’ve been following along with Country Wife Chronicles for any time now, then you know that endometriosis is a part of my story, a part of my infertility valley. March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and so in honor of spreading awareness, I wanted to take a minute to round up previous endometriosis-related posts here on the blog. Today’s post will be a full round-up of all the posts I have written pertaining to endometriosis. And you will see some of these same posts over the next few weeks as well.

An Overdue Update…

March 8, 2021September 14, 2021 - The Country Wife 6 Comments

Well it has been a minute, actually over nine months, since I last took some time to write a blog post. There really is SO much I need to catch you up on. My life has been a bit of whirlwind if I’m being honest with you. The last two blog posts here on Country Wife Chronicles were catching you up on my current state of affairs–after a long battle with endometriosis-induced infertility.

A Season of Rest

September 24, 2018September 22, 2018 - The Country Wife 6 Comments

This blog post has been a long time coming. I’ve been bouncing the words around in my head for several weeks now, grappling with how to get my thoughts into readable form.

You may have noticed that I haven’t been around the blog for a while. In fact, I’ve been absent from Country Wife Chronicles for almost a month now.

And while I’ll spare you all the details of exactly how I got here, I will share with you that this was not my original intention for September’s blog posts on CWC. Let me give you a glimpse into my life lately…

Reigniting the Fire with Intentionality

How do you reignite the passion in your marriage?

With all that Wildland Man and I’ve been through lately, I can sometimes feel like the passionate love that brought us together is a bit lacking. Now, don’t get me wrong, my love hasn’t faded, in fact I’d say it’s definitely grown deeper over the years.

And in the trial of infertility we currently find ourselves in, I’ve honestly never felt closer to the man I married. I feel deeply and intimately connected to him.

Marriage on Fire

July 23, 2018July 25, 2018 - The Country Wife 2 Comments

Ok, y’all, in the interest of being fully transparent, I have to admit to you that this week’s post was a hard one to get up on the blog.

Not because it needed extra creativity or photo and graphic work done. Not because it was emotionally draining to put into words. Not because the topic was super technical or difficult to explain.

Nope, none of those more obvious reasons at all.

The reason this post was difficult for me to get published can be attributed to one thing: anxiety.

And, no, not anxiety about this particular post…just general, somewhat debilitating, anxiety.

Hello my friends!

I just want to start this beautiful Monday by saying, “Thank you for being here!”

I know that this Streams in the Wasteland talk has been going on and on it seems, and it has kinda taken forever to get here. But we’ve made it, Streams in the Wasteland: 31 Days of Devotions for Finding Hope in Hardship is finally available for downloading!

You’ve been so patient in your waiting that I wanted to take just one more moment here on CWC to give you the full deets on all things Streams in the Wasteland before things get back to normal around here.

Streams in the Wasteland: Overcoming Obstacles

June 18, 2018July 9, 2018 - The Country Wife Leave a comment

We’ve talked here on CWC about the importance of finding time in your life to just be still. As I’ve been so diligently sharing my first-ever devotional eBook release in Streams in the Wasteland, I thought it might make sense to talk obstacles to devotion time today.

Because life can get hectic. And we all know that spending time with the Lord requires some intentional structuring of your daily life.

Streams in the Wasteland, y’all…is the anticipation just killing you? I can barely stand holding this FREE resource from you any longer, but I must…just for a few more weeks, I promise.

Life has been incredibly busy lately and I’m still working on some finishing touches for the eBook…not to mention trying to figure out the technical side of delivering Streams in the Wasteland to y’all! Remember, I still a newbie at this blogging thing!

So you may have noticed by now that CWC has sort-of become Streams in the Wasteland headquarters. Yes, it’s true…

I’ve been so busy finalizing the eBook and crafting the finishing touches that I really haven’t had much time, or inspiration for that matter, to write any blog posts on other subjects. I hope you aren’t getting sick of eBook talk just yet…because I’m just so stinkin’ excited about being able to offer this resource to my readers for ABSOLUTELY FREE that it is all I’m thinking about and putting my effort towards these days.

Streams in the Wasteland: A Sneak Peek

May 7, 2018July 9, 2018 - The Country Wife Leave a comment

Y’all, I have some insane news to share with you…I’m writing an eBook! Well, a devotional eBook, to be specific…Streams in the Wasteland.

Not so long ago, the Lord placed the idea of creating a devotional on my heart. I’ve experimented with some ideas with friends and family over the last couple of years, but this time I’m sharing my creation with the world! I know, it’s still sinking in for me, too.

I feel like I’ve been a full-on hermit living under a rock for the last three weeks as the eBook writing process is nearing completion. Man, writing a book, y’all…it’s an undertaking. One I sorely underestimated!

Biggest lesson in the devotional writing adventure thus far? Don’t procrastinate…and always plan on it taking longer than you think it will. Yup, hard, painful lessons learned on this first go-round.
