It’s time for me to close down my blog.
I started this blog 2 years ago for a couple of reasons. One was that I wanted to have a place to share my thoughts. Another was to keep family and friends updated on our lives, although I’ve had a very hard time getting most of my friends “trained” to check here for updates.
I’m so thankful for the friends that I’ve made through this blog and real friendships have blossomed from some of our comment/email exchanges.
I’ve enjoyed sharing my thoughts and learning from your comments.
I’ve learned much about photography as I’ve learned how to take the types of pictures that I envisioned for my blog.
But somewhere along the line, the blog began to take over much of my thought. In the background of many of our daily activites, I would think about how I would blog about it. Many of the pictures that I took were specifically taken for the blog. Recording every little moment of our lives became tedious to an over-achiever like myself and my life seemed to take on a type of “show-and-tell” feeling, which I’m not really comfortable with.
Right now, I’m in such a busy season of my life. Raising our young children, homeschooling, runing our litle farm and preparing for a new baby are all pressing in on my time. I’ve been having trouble with fitting in the spiritual disciplines – the “big rocks” – that I so desperately need right now. I’ve also desired lots of time to just *think* lately.
There are only so many hours in the day and I have decide what I want to spend them on. While I think that blogging is a wonderful for women to fellowship and learn, right now it is a luxury in my book. When I’m an older woman who has actually raised my children and lived more of life, I may have more time and be more qualified to actually say someting inspirational to others.
I’m hesitant to close down the blog completely after I put so much effort into developing it just the way I want it. For that reason, I think that I”ll leave it up – at least for the time being.
So, I’m going to say good-bye for now. I might be back someday soon or you may meet me here someday long into the future when blogging can find its rightful place in my life.
Thank you so much for visiting here. May we all learn ways in our daily lives in which we can draw closer to God.
