Hello all!  …Well, it’s no secret that I’ve been seriously neglecting my blog.  My apologies.  There are really a number of different reasons that factor in to my neglect.  One big factor – and this came as a huge revelation to me the other day – is that my blogging career thus far in life did not include a three-year-old!   Oh boy, three-year-olds are busy little creatures.  Full of curiosity and energy, love for life and…well, energy.  And add to this that Noah, just like my first two three-year-olds, can’t seem to slow down for a nap (and if he does, he’s up till 10:00 pm…no thanks!) leaves me with very little down time.  Yet, all this is tempered by the fact that I know first hand how quickly these precious toddler/preschool years go by, and so, I strive to enjoy every moment with him.

Of course, another factor that has been distracting me from blogging (and all types of media) is my previously stated desire to be satisfied with the superior things of God, and not  the lesser pleasures of this world.  After our 40 day media fast, I really felt a conviction to continue to press in to God’s Word and spending time in prayer.  And with this conviction also came the conviction that playing the “as-a-stay-at-home-mom-I-don’t-have-time-to-spend-time-with-the-Lord” card is really a very poor excuse!  As a mom of four kids, I know for sure that I can juggle many different things at once.  Spending time in the Word and in prayer and with my kids need not be any different. 

So…there you have it, why my posting has become so sparse.  I hope to strike a “balance” soon…but then again, I’ve been contemplating the idea of balancing the good  with the best.   Should not the best hugely outweigh the good?
