Now this is why I have faith!

>So discipline answered my letter 🙂 ok, so not really, but the Lord did. I get a daily bible verse delivered via email every day and this was today’s:
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. – Proverbs 23:12
The Hebrew word for instruction can be translated as “discipline.” To be a person of wisdom, it takes dedicated instruction and discipline. Commit yourselves this week to disciplined instruction in the Word.

Anyway, I just thought I’d share that because it made my night!

On another note, I haven’t been writing much on here lately because I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what I want my blog to be. Mostly, I don’t want to get carried away… I think it’s easy to get swept away with and inflated sense of self and forget why you started a blog, especially if you have a lot of readers, which I don’t think I’m in danger of (I mean, I’m not exactly Julie from Julie and Julia), but I’ve been tempted to vent on here about feelings on subjects other than the day to day challenges being a new mom a couple of times. I would like to stay away from that because some things probably shouldn’t be said and, like the words used on an episode of Criminal Minds the other day (an episode that makes me want stop using all methods of social networking), once you put something out into the world wide web, it’s out there forever… there’s no taking it back.

    >Sometimes a blog is for the day to day, sometimes its for feelings and venting. Mine is both. I'm in hot water for what I wrote, but I can admit part of it was wrong, but am thankful for the support shown by women I've come to know on and offline. I don't think having more followers has changed my writing style, just made my words more noticeable. I love reading your blog and hope you keep going. Everyone blogs for different reasons and finds different reactions to their words.

    >I'm glad you are feeling inspired! Just use the blog for whatever you need it for, musing, venting, sharing your enthusiasm! It'll evolve over time 🙂

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
