So I’ve been a slacker on this wonderful blog the last few weeks.
See 3/4ths of my house is under construction because of ice damage from the winter. Then add five kids plus some extra kids because it’s summer and they are trying to enjoy the nice weather. Then add trying to keep my special needs kids safe from the chaos.
Well I’m a bit stressed and busy.
Some of it is a good kind of stress like what color paint and floors but it’s still added time in my already crazy schedule.
So I haven’t been sitting around eating bon-bons or watching TV. I have however failed to find the time to write down all the ideas that have come into my head to blog about.
What happens when I don’t write?
You may have guessed it, I felt convicted. I woke up at midnight thinking about what I needed to write and that I was behind schedule.
I remembered that I still hadn’t submitted something to another writer whom I made a promise to.
I had a swift kick in the pants that my focus was off.
Maybe we all go through seasons where we need to be reminded of what’s important. The world around us needs some attention but it’s not supposed to be our focus. Jesus needs to be our true north, no matter what is going on around us
I pray that all of you are able to keep your eyes focused on Jesus through all of the distractions.
I’ve prayed about what my schedule needs to be for the summer. I will be only blogging once a week for the rest of the summer due to this lovely construction. Come fall I’ll be back into my “normal” rhythm of once to twice a week (as the Spirit leads).
I pray you are all enjoying this blessed summer!

“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
