I’ve been wanting to do this thing for a while. My family has encouraged me to try it. Others have even recommended I should. I have been posting my thoughts on Instagram or Facebook. But, really, who am I kidding? I’m on IG and FB all the time. That’s easy.
But a blog? That’s a whole new animal. Doing this…I either felt I didn’t have enough to say or I couldn’t find the time to sit down and actually do it. Would anyone want to read my ramblings?
Well, maybe that’s not exactly true. A couple of years ago, I did try. My second daughter created a blog for me as my Kris Kringle gift. I think it was her way to get me actually moving in this direction. And as I tried to start, I did something tech related (don’t ask me what it was) and I couldn’t fix it. So, that attempt crashed and burned pretty quickly. I didn’t even get my first post up.
But, I’ve come off an amazing Advent where God spoke to me clearly and showed me His Grace. I crave more of that. I want to draw closer to Him and learn more, share more, and become the woman He’s calling me to become. But, I’m a processor. I need time to reflect and meditate. I need to get my thoughts down and see where they lead, otherwise, they get lost in the vacuum of my mind and replaced with all the daily obligations and distractions that come with a house full of people of all ages and multiple responsibilities. Can you relate?
So, here we are, a work in progress. In between homeschooling, running a business, volunteering at church, and just enjoying my life with all of my big, beautiful family, I’ll be popping on here and sharing what God says to me. (Not in a deep booming voice. Don’t want you to think I’m going there…) If anything I learn and share touches you, please leave a comment. I’d love to dialogue with you.
XOXO,
Barb
