Wow, I just looked and I have not blogged since last July. When I started blogging it was to keep up with little funny stories and document things about our day to day life, or funny things my children said and did so that I would remember those sweet moments. It was a journal of sorts, no one seemed to know it was there, and no one cared. I have the security settings set so high that no one could just find it very easily. I kept it mostly to myself and it was fun, but somewhere along the way, it became tied into Facebook. All of a sudden people began to tell me they had read it, and talk about posts and things I wrote. My family and friends began to seek it out, and want to keep up with what I was writing. I was o.k. with that, but it left me feeling a little uneasy because it no longer felt personal. I felt pressure to make it worth reading, and all of a sudden I had to be careful and think about what I wrote, and who may be seeing it, and how they may feel about what I have to say. I am already careful about social media. I try to avoid confrontational posts, over-sharing, and potentially hurt feelings. It was just all too much to deal with so I let the blog go.
Time has passed and I found that I have missed it. I like to write things down. I am much better on paper than in person. I like to encourage, I like to journal, so with a new year, comes new thoughts and goals, and one of them is to get back blogging. I want to get back to finding the extraordinary moments in my days, and I want to start writing it down again so I can remember it and share it later with my girls. I want to share what God has done and how he works in my life and the life of my family. I want to love Him and make Him known in whatever ways I have available to me, and hopefully through it all, I can encourage and bring a smile to someone else.. because lets face it, we all need to laugh and be reminded that we are not alone. There are so many blessings to found, even in the midst of our mundane :)
Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established- Proverbs 16:3
