to blog or not to blog?
As is obvious from my lack of posting, I did not continue my 2017 plan of blogging more regularly. And even though in the fast-paced social media world, blogging isn't as "in" anymore, I miss it!
Why shouldn't I blog? Well, 5 reasons come to mind and they are all shorter than 5 feet. ;)
Why should I? A good question before making a decision, right? Here's what I have come up with:
*to document. Life these days are the best kind of hard. Five littles. Homeschooling. Always in transition from moving often. But there is so much good and I don't want the time to go by and my mommy-brain self promise to remember and then forget the sweet moments, the growing up of young boys, the silly way words are pronounced, the toddler antics, the baby sweetness. And to document the lessons I am learning and the moments of growth in myself. I want to keep a record of it all, because it is so much of the good in life.
*similarly, to remember. I know me, and I will forget so much. And I really don't want to! I love going back and reading what I thought at a certain time, what the kids were up to, what life looked like. It's like re-living it, for better or for worse, and I love it.
*to encourage. As much as I blog/post for myself and the above reasons, I hope and pray that this space can be an encouragement to someone! We aren't alone in our struggles and sometimes just knowing that another person is experiencing a similar situation can be all the encouragement we need to press on and not give up. I know it is for me.
So, here I go again! Thanks for reading!
