Wow. It's been four months since I wrote last! That's crazy. I had been trying to make it my goal to write a few times a month to keep caught up with my blog, but time flies when you're having fun, right?
The kids are growing, learning new things, helping, fighting, thinking about school in 10 days, etc. They're so much fun. Most of the time.
Anyway, lately I've been thinking a lot about a verse from 1 Thessalonians 4..."Make it your ambiton to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and you will not be dependent on anybody."
I love this verse. It's what I'm striving for these days.
However, at the same time, I wonder:
Do I quit my blog and just focus on my family? Maybe, but at the same time, I love what this blog is for me...a place to look back and see what we've done together as a family and remember fun things my kids have said or done.
Do I cancel my facebook page? Seriously, I go back and forth about this one daily. Truthfully, though, as much as I dislike all the crap and whatever is on there, I feel like it's also my connection with people I don't see often, or with groups I'm involved in who only communicate this way. It's still a toss-up for me, though.
Instead of focusing solely on this social media stuff and how I'm sick of it/annoyed with it, I want to try and just be in the present with my family. Sure, I WANT to write about my kids and put pictures up, and I probably still will. I'll still check facebook, too, It's just part of life these days. But my goal with this verse is to fully live each day, and work at getting stuff done each day (even when the tornadoes run through the house and it all seems like it's not worth it.)
Anyway, these are my thoughts lately...hopefully I'll get back into the blogging realm. Until then, I'll be minding my own business and working with my hands. ;)
Have a fabulous day, friends!
