I didn't think so! But I figured I'd offer an explanation anyhow. Lately I've really been convicted that I spend too much time online. It is truly an addiction for me. But I've come to realize that every moment I spend online is a moment with my family I am missing. So I have been trying to limit it.
I've been reading an AMAZING book. Its called Family Driven Faith by Voddie Baucham, and it has really helped me to reprioritize my day as well. Trying to get back to the enthusiasm for the Lord I had as a new Christian just a couple years ago. I've been so caught up in daily life, an dwhile the things I was doing were good, I needed to remember how short our time in this World is and that I need to make the most of it for Christ. I have some quotes from the book coming soon, but with my new shortened computer time typing them up is quite tricky! I have some Jim Elliot quotes as well that have been waiting on my desk for weeks!
This week we have some beautiful weather after the cold we've had, which has lent beautifully to enjoying God's bountiful gift of berries! A friend let us come to her home and pick huckleberries (my FAVORITE!!!). I haven't found them anywhere on the island so I was especially excited baout those.Then we had a different friend come to us for our first blackberries of the year this morning. Picking is so much nicer with friends!
My beautiful baby is almost 6 months old. Can you believe it?
I want to leave you with a quote that I found especially convicting today from Lidsay's blog at passionatehomemaking.com:
"Busyness is not godliness. God is not impressed with your production capacity as much as He is concerned that the product of your home - your own children - be chiseled and molded and perfected to the best of your ability. You may tire of this mundane task, but the Lord admonishes you not to grow weary and promises to supply the energy and strength as needed in this all-important task (Isa. 40:28-31). God's strength is for what He plans for you to do - not stamina for everything you might want to do!"
