It's Mine!

Do you ever get to thinking that something is yours? Like, this is my house and I can do things how I want at my house? Do you think that? I can have it my way! Or this is my blog and I can say what I want here. Do you tell yourself that? I did just that recently... not on the blog, but I said it to a friend. I said this was my "turf"so-to-speak and it was a place I could share my thoughts freely. I mean that to some degree, but God put a strong conviction on my heart over it. Mine? Yeah, it is mine... but I am God's, so that means that this blog is God's! How selfish was I to lay claim to it in such a way! Mine! Mine! Mine! Like a two year old being selfish... What would God think if that?!!!!

So, if you have noticed I have not been posting much lately it has been because I have been finding myself thinking twice about what I type here. Is it just "chatter"... I don't have time to waste on that. My family needs me and I need them! You don't have time to read my "chatter" either. I don't want my blogging to be a hindrance to me or you all. I am still going to blog and blog read, but I want to be more careful with it. I believe it is a valuable tool, if used properly.

So, I have to ask myself these questions?:

• Why did I start? To try to make money at it, but I got sidetracked and decided I just enjoyed the therapy of it. No monetary profit has come from it.
• What is my blog purpose? To find others like myself with children, homeschooling, Christian, etc. and to share ideas and support one another.
• How much time am I spending on it? Too much! Blogging while rocking or holding a sleeping baby is okay for me and blogging maybe 30 minutes other than that is okay. Blogging to escape is not okay for me. I need too face my problems (or laundry) ... Hehehe!
• Why not just quit? I think it is beneficial if I do not abuse it. I am going to try to improve on that and stay true to my purpose. Also, I treasure my blogger pals that I have met and am meeting.

So, this is not my "turf", it's God's "turf" and I intend to honor that to my best ability. And I do realize I have not posted pics lately, so I will try to do that soon.
