I would love to keep blogging. I enjoy the give and take and I like
having somewhat of a record of our daily lives. But I don't enjoy the
shame I feel at the end of a day when I've neglected my God-given
responsibilities; when I have spent the time I could have been
discipling my children writing a pithy blog post and then checking to
see who got a chuckle out of it. I'd so much rather delineate
spiritual insights on my blog than maintain my home as a haven for the
five other people who live here.
I think I will keep the blog as a private journal. I recently re-read
all of my posts, and I don't want them to just disappear. I may try to
write the occasional goings-on and kid stories for our future
enjoyment. However, I am not mature enough to blog in moderation. So,
for now, I won't blog at all.
This isn't the first time I've encourntered this particular selfish
tendency. I've actually had to quit crocheting and playing sudoku
because I will let the house fall down around my ears while I finish a
ripple afghan. Evidently, I'd rather do just about anything than
actually do the work prepared in advance for me to do (Eph. 2:10). I
can't describe how disgusted I am.
So, here I am, submitting my will, taking every thought captive and
being transformed. Again.
Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner

'Bye Y'all
I wrote the following in an email explaining why I'm setting blogging aside. I thought it explained things pretty well, so I've copied it here for you.

Once again, D. I'll miss you but I understand totally. I still have your email address. :-)
Hope to see your snazzy red 'fro and toothy grin in my comments soon and often. ;-)
Love and hugs,
Diane
Boy, I stand convicted as well. pray for me. You are a blessing, and a wee bit hard on yourself, but I understand. (((hugs)))
I've tucked away your email for safety, and you have mine.
Don't be a stranger, sweetness.
I will miss you but I totally understand.
And never think that the blogging you have done was in vain. I will forever remember what you endured as a child and how your Lord has healed you. I am certain that your testimony touched someone out there. You planted a seed, sister.
God Bless you!
