I'm here. I really am. This past week has been indescribable... the phrase that comes to mind is "battlefield of the mind" because it feels like a war is waging in there. But, the best thing is, that for every dark, dark moment... there is a touch from God like I've never known before. And that is why I'm a Christian, why I hang in there... I would not trade it for the world!
Besides all that, life has been crazy busy. Tomorrow is the only day I'm home and not otherwise busy this week... doctors appointments, Play & Art on Wednesdays, haircut appointments, yearly physicals, babysitting... and evening meetings at our church. Every evening. They are enlightening, inspiring... but also exhausting..!
In the last while I've felt like I need to prioritize my time a little better... God, husband, kids and then whatever else there's time for. Sadly my kids have been rather neglected and their attitudes are revealing that now... I've decided to take a little more time with them, reading stories, playing play dough, and most importantly, teach them how to live godly lives. And something has to give... wasted internet time! I want to keep up my blog, no worries there, but I've got to give a little when it comes to hours spent... it's a challenge I'm taking up! I still check email regularly, and I'll be keeping up my blog so don't be shy... I still wanna hear from you!!

I hear you, it is always good to reorder priorities and remember what actually is important. Or like I read in the 360 degree leader book: makeing a stop-doing list can be very helpful. I just have yet to do it. You know, it's on the list.
Sometime life just sweeps us away & we forget our priorities -- good for you for putting them in order & knowing what you need to do ^_^
It's so hard to find the perfect balance. I know I struggle with it all the time.
Your kids are lucky to have you as their mom!
I know where you're coming from. I find so much encouragement and peace online, but there's a time to pull back, too. I hope you find the right balance.
We start meetings on Sunday (Jan. 25) - I hear ya, sistah! Also about the wasted internet time.
God has been working on my heart lately too. Mostly through the Beth Moore Bible study, Breaking Free. Sometimes you have to realize you're in captivity before you can be free. It's been good.
