One thing that I desire(besides beholding the beauty of the Lord is to write more on my blog.  I think I”ve decided to keep both blogs although I’m still working on that logic.  I see so many nice, full, informative blogs.  I enjoy many of them and when I spend time reading them I can kind of get a ‘flavor’ of the heart of the blogger…almost like getting to know them.  I enjoy getting to know other sincere, homeschooling moms who love the Lord.  The medium of the internet is a wonderful tool to have access to much information and I do appreciate the homeschool communities that have started on the web.  Used the right way, the internet can be a tool of blessing for many.  God will use it in the lives of His people…many times He has confirmed a word to me thru what someone else has written and vice versa has given me words to encourage someone as I left comments on their blog.

But, it needs to be kept in it’s place.  I find many times that I put off blogging b/c I am so busy at home.  Any time I don’t have the baby pulling at me wanting to play or diaper changed or to eat, etc. I’m washing/folding/putting away laundry, tending to my 2 other children(supervising disputes, supervising room cleaning, bathroom cleaning, personal hygiene maintenance),  figuring out what we’ll eat for dinner next, writing/thinking about next year’s lessons(which start July 6), mopping floors, working out, paying bills, cleaning up, blessing the house, or just plain sitting down talking/enjoying my dh’s company….I don’t see where I have much time to write.

So I think the solution for me is to schedule it!! I know that it does not take a rocket scientist revelation but it kind of was for me.

The only thing is that I find I’m not good with a ’schedule’.  I do better with a ‘plan’ of action, if u know what I mean.  Even when we school I think  do better with just having a ‘list’ of things to accomplish but yet still be free enough to get them done in the way that suits me each day.

So I think I’m gonna aim for once a week.  If ideas come to me to write(which they have)…I put them on an index card sitting on top of my computer … it’s there even as I type this entry) but the children have come in from outside now and I know the time is winding down b/fore one of them will need me…not to mention dh….

…so I’ll wrap this up…and we’ll see how my new blogging commitment/schedule works out…

wish me well!!

1. I like reading your blog posts when they come on the homeschooljournal feeds — so I think it’s a great idea to try to write regularly : ). I too learn a lot from visiting other people’s blogs and seeing how they do things.
