I miss blogging

I miss blogging. I do.

It's something I often want to sit and do.... but don't.

Sometimes I look back through the old posts and I can't help but smile. The memories.... The good, the bad, the comical and the scary.

I look back at all that God has done... all He's brought me through... the blessings He's poured out on me through my husband and my beautiful children... It makes me want to keep blogging.

Because there certainly isn't want for stories now. You could peek inside my windows on any given day and laugh at the comical and strange events that take place here. And I'd love to keep recording my memories in some way.

If I'm honest, in the last year, (the last 6 months especially) Facebook and Instagram have replaced my blog. Because its convenient. And fast. But that makes me really sad... I wish I could go back and move all those updates and photos to my blog. Precious memories that I wish were in one place.

Maybe it's because I have 6 mobile children now. Maybe this is just a busy year. Whatever the reason, it's time to get back in the groove. It's therapeutic for me and I love looking back on our ever-changing life, and our rapidly growing family.

I've considered ditching FB all together so many times recently. But because of some really wonderful groups-- adoption, school, DS, etc --I really want to hang in there. But a few weeks ago I took the app off of my phone and that helped worlds. No more crazy-frequent checking of news feeds.

I think I might just use Instagram for pics but go back to telling the story here. Or maybe I'll just ditch Instagram. We'll see.

But I'm going to determine to jump back into blogging. Not for my readers but for my family. For myself. For the value of giving Glory to the Father for the great things He's done and is doing in our lives.

But if you do enjoy reading along, feel free. And leave me a comment or word of encouragement. I'm happy to share these stories with you as I record them. Thanks for continuing to stop by!
