Quickie

Mulling, thinking, wondering … a never ending process – wondering what to do with this blog, if anything. I know, I know – if you’ve been here before you’ve heard this all before too.
I have things I want/need to say, often, and yet I wonder if they really need to be said, um, publicly or if it’s just my need to vent. Sure, I think other women may relate to my thoughts. In fact I know they would.
But does that, in itself, necessitate that I blog them?
I read a post today – two of them, in fact, that I could have written almost word for word myself. They were beautiful, profound and deep. When I read posts like that I sometimes think – I should have written this. Then I think “I should write more” and then I think, “Why?”
Aren’t you glad you stopped by?
Yes, I am glad I stopped by because I have moments just as you describe all the time as it relates to my own blog: Is this a good use of my time? Should I shut up already, and do less pontificating and more living?
In the end I continue to do it because I appreciate the fellowship of likeminded women, which is becoming harder and harder to find in my daily walk. I have good friends to be sure, people who love me and deal with meeven though I am a homeward, homeschooling, homebody and whom I love even though I know they would never dream of being a full time homemaker. These differences make our realtionships all the more special because we love each other inspite of them, a love born of faith in our Lord rather than externals.
But I do enjoy communicating with women who have the same set of priorities as I do, so I blog on!
