Someone once called me an idealist. Well, I might add to that and say, perhaps a lazy idealist. Neither a good marriage nor good parenting comes easily. It’s past time to put more of my time and energy into the real life relationships that are most important.
I don’t know if it will be six months or six weeks or what. But at this point I think I must take a leave of absence from the blogging world {as well as time wasters consumers like facebook}. I don’t plan to “lurk” here either, so I will sorely miss reading many of your blogs!
I was going to post about our 3300-mile journey to Florida, the Carolinas, and more. Highlights like 5 Guys Burgers & Fries in Pensacola, touring colleges, meeting George & Kim Berry of Atlanta on our Ft. Sumter tour, and being blessed to meet another blogger friend, Jodi {Granola Mom 4 God}, and her family in real life.
I was going to show you snippets of the fun little girl b-day party we had for the Popper ~ which concluded with them witnessing the birth of a calf named Beller, I might add.
The grass is growing with thanks to yesterday’s rain. A shipment of fruit trees is due to arrive today. Tim and the Cattleman picked up a load of landscape edgers today ~ They’re outside now putting landscape fabric around the front of the house. There’s always something going on around here. If you’re in the neighborhood, please stop in and say hello!
And if you think of us, would you please pray for us to know and display the grace of God in our lives? Thank you!
May God shower His goodness on each of you every day!
I've had a hard time finding any time to blog lately myself - there's just too much else to do! Facebook is at least mindless enough to scan through quickly while downing a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteI will miss you, Melanie - praying God's blessings in your lives!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're putting your family first and doing what might be considered hard. Enjoy whatever God has for you because that is always the BEST :-)

I'll miss you while you're setting the blog aside, but applaud you for doing what you need to do :D
ReplyDeleteAnd hoping that you'll find time - some time in the future - to come back,
Julie
Blessings abundant upon you during your time away. We'll sure miss you but you are making a wise decision. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAhhh . . . I understand this very well. Do what you must . . . but you won't ever stop being my IRL friend!!!! Enjoy life. :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh... I am right there with you. I want to LIVE life, so I haven't posted in awhile and only occasionally check in on blogs (then again, that could be the season of life I'm in). I am kind of enjoying the "freedom." But I do need to mention that I've learned a lot from you (and from other bloggers), and am thankful for that. Praying for you and your family, for obedience to God's guidance, and for successful farming!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the smartest bloggers! Enjoy your God-given break!!
