Loving Him 4 Ever Web Log

Friday, June 9, 2006 - Blogging ... finding time for it

One thing that I desire(besides beholding the beauty of the Lord :-) is to write more on my blog. I think I"ve decided to keep both blogs although I'm still working on that logic. I see so many nice, full, informative blogs. I enjoy many of them and when I spend time reading them I can kind of get a 'flavor' of the heart of the blogger...almost like getting to know them. I enjoy getting to know other sincere, homeschooling moms who love the Lord. The medium of the internet is a wonderful tool to have access to much information and I do appreciate the homeschool communities that have started on the web. Used the right way, the internet can be a tool of blessing for many. God will use it in the lives of His people...many times He has confirmed a word to me thru what someone else has written and vice versa has given me words to encourage someone as I left comments on their blog.

But, it needs to be kept in it's place. I find many times that I put off blogging b/c I am so busy at home. Any time I don't have the baby pulling at me wanting to play or diaper changed or to eat, etc. I'm washing/folding/putting away laundry, tending to my 2 other children(supervising disputes, supervising room cleaning, bathroom cleaning, personal hygiene maintenance), figuring out what we'll eat for dinner next, writing/thinking about next year's lessons(which start July 6), mopping floors, working out, paying bills, cleaning up, blessing the house, or just plain sitting down talking/enjoying my dh's company....I don't see where I have much time to write.

So I think the solution for me is to schedule it!! I know that it does not take a rocket scientist revelation but it kind of was for me.

The only thing is that I find I'm not good with a 'schedule'. I do better with a 'plan' of action, if u know what I mean. Even when we school I think do better with just having a 'list' of things to accomplish but yet still be free enough to get them done in the way that suits me each day.

So I think I'm gonna aim for once a week. If ideas come to me to write(which they have)...I put them on an index card sitting on top of my computer ... it's there even as I type this entry) but the children have come in from outside now and I know the time is winding down b/fore one of them will need me...not to mention dh....

...so I'll wrap this up...and we'll see how my new blogging commitment/schedule works out...

wish me well!!

Friday, June 9, 2006 - I'm right there with 'ya...

You should see my blog. I think I haven't posted on there for about a month now. Terrible. My thing is I've taken up sewing and it's kinda boxing out the free-time I did have for blogging and reading blogs. I would love to keep people up to date though. So maybe I should go and update it now instead of commenting on your blog, huh? =) But your entries are so good!!!!...=)=)

Friday, June 9, 2006 - Schedules...

I know what you mean about schedules. I've never been able to stick to one. I'm still fighting the making a list thing to, but know I need to find a way to be more organized and not lose focus on what's important.
