Hello everyone. I just wanted to write a post to say I don't have time to write posts.
That may seem kind of silly, but things have gotten pretty busy around here. There is a lot I would like to catch you up on I just don't have the time right now.
Time seems to be something I don't have a lot of. (But then again everybody has the same amount of time. I think my problem is how I'm managing mine.)
I think it's going to be even more true when our boy arrives. We have gone through some changes at our house. I have taken on new job tasks and my husband's schedule has changed. My husband now works first shift and I cannot tell you how normal and right it feels.
After close to four years of his wacky shifts, this first thing is just so refreshing. These days we all get ready for the day together, we go our separate ways for little bit, and all join together in the late afternoon. We eat together, get ready for bed together, and get to sleep and snuggle together. Normally you would think this would open more time up for blogging, or making art, are doing the fun crafty things I love to do. However, the truth is I just want to enjoy every minute with our daughter while she is awake, and then every minute with my husband when we have our evenings.
I just wanted to let you know I plan on keeping my blog up and posting every now and then. But do not expect an update after every big event, or a new piece of artwork every Sunday, or well just enjoy the posts when they come. I don't say this to be mean, or because I don't like blogging.
But the truth is it's last on my list, because it's important to see my priorities straight. A good friend of mine shared this amazing blog post with me a couple months ago, I have to say it was so refreshing to hear and I took it to heart.
Maybe someday, some year, I will be able to make art everyday and blog anytime I want, and bake delicious recipes whenever I want. But For now I am going to be the best wife I can be, enjoy every minute of being a mother, do the best work I can, and use my personal time when I truly have the time. Not only am I okay with that, but I am proud to say it. The Lord has blessed me with so much in my life, I want to praise and thank Him by living my life the best I can, only with his guided assistance.
I am sorry for the long post and I apologize for the brutal honesty. I'm sorry for the long waits between posts. Thank you sooooo much for reading my blog in the first place, and also for those of you who decide to pop back in for the posts every now and then. I wish I had more time to paint and blog, but as I said I've been given so much I just want to enjoy and be fully grateful for what I have been given. I do promise that when I do post it will be something I am proud of. So please stick around.
There's nothing I love more than those moments of clarity and certainty. And the only way I find them is to rely on God and His time.
