It's Harder Than I Thought!

Blogging has turned out to be much harder than I figured. I thought that it would be simple. Hop on, type away. Either the creative genius has died or life really is hectic and interrupts. Mom can you do this? Honey, can you take care of that for me? Etc., Etc. Not complaining mind you... I just didn't think it would be this hard to put a little something up each day.

Another problem I have, believe it or not, is what to label my entries. So much of my life is interwoven. I am a wife. I am a mother. I am a teacher. I am also the chief chef, maid, nurse, librarian, did I mention teacher? Teacher, not just a teacher of one subject mind you, but all areas of academia.

So how do I write about my joy as a mother when it was a success achieved in home schooling by my child and something they have learned. We're having soup today and managed to learn a new math concept all while preparing the family dinner. I find this harder than I thought. My life is incorporated of all of the above: Wife, Mother, Cook, Teacher, Counselor...It's not so easy to separate the parameters in my life. My children are entering a phase of their life where it frees me up to maybe have time to blog. Now where are all those creative thoughts I was mulling over.

Which leads me to another thought in regards to my blogging. I have realized that I feel very strongly about the things I write...such as the entitlement post. Events in my life have led me to form those opinions, the same as for most people. I really do not want to be 'preachy'. If I had to chose between justice or mercy, I think I would pick mercy. I know what I deserve as a sinner. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your saving grace. Please forgive me if I come across as 'judgemental'. I really am not trying to judge as much as figure out what pleases God and what doesn't please Him.
