I haven't posted anything in quite a while because 1) I'm busy with my three children and husband and 2) I haven't decided what to write. Now I've decided that I'm just going to write whatever comes to mind and is important to me.

One comment, I thought it revealing yesterday as I thought about what to write that I was contemplating how this blog could be sort of accountability to me. For example, if I write about something I'm trying to start or stop doing, this blog could kind of hold me accountable. How silly and shortsighted of me to forget and dismiss the fact that the Lord knows my ways and knows every thought before I think it!! And we shall all give account of our deeds to Him. Note to self - meditate on this truth.

Thought for today (and the last couple) -
Why do I have to have some sort of media occupying my brain? Whether it's TV, radio, music or just white noise, why am I afraid of silence? This has bothered me for a long time and it was recently confirmed by something Ken Myers writes in All God's Children and Blue Suede Shoes (fabulous book by the way). I am trying not to have something "babysitting" my brain all the time. Silence is a good and helpful thing and a very rare commodity in our fast paced society. Maybe as a mother I'm so used to multitasking that I just can't do one thing at a time in a deliberate manner. I'm going to start working on this. I'll let you know how it goes.
