Intentional Blogging Break

Intentional...that is the word that God has been placing in front of me quite a bit lately. I have to be intentional. Intentional with my time, with my activities, with my children, with my husband, with my life. I have filled my life up with blogging, facebook, watching television shows, and just staying busy. In the process I have neglected my relationship with Him and everyone else that matters. I have even neglected my health. I can't hope that my relationships with my children turn out OK in the end, I have to be intentional about working on them and that means being there and being available. I can't just wait for my marriage to become something that glorifies God, I have to be intentional about it. I can't just neglect my time with the Lord and expect that I can walk through my days feeling His presence close to me. I have to be intentional with my life.

I am stepping out on a new road of healing and healthiness (physically, emotionally and spiritually). I know I've been down a road similar to this one before but this is a new one, with new challenges and new things to explore. I have already taken a few steps. For now, there is little balance in my life which means that I am taking a blogging break. I love blogging but it will have to wait for a more balanced time in my life. I called my doctor yesterday to make an appointment to find out what is going on with my body. I am calling my therapist today so begin seeing her again. I am limiting my facebook time to 10 minutes, once a week and then only looking at posts of my family and my God family, everyone else has been deleted. I haven't watched a television show in over two weeks and God has adamantly shown me that there is absolutely no room for television in my life. Besides, is there really anything on there that glorifies Him and makes me a better person in the process? I would hard-pressed to find it.

My time now needs to be spent in His Word, journaling, playing with my kids, talking with my husband, prayer time, and even some regular therapy appointments (yes, I did say therapy). Hopefully, blogging can become something that I can pick back up in the future but for now there is no room for it. I have to be intentional. I want to be intentional.
