To Blog?

Hmm...I've been pondering the question "To blog or not to blog" for a couple of months now. Actually, I've been questioning the impression that the internet has on our family for a while. And one of the reasons why is above- "changing the way we communicate". I don't like it. Fifty years ago technology as we see it now was unheard of. And guess what? Those people made it just fine!! I'm not saying that the internet is bad and must be avoided at all costs! No, that's not it at all.

Granted, without the internet I would have never found Reece's Rainbow. No Reece's Rainbow, no Ruslana. No Ruslana, no support group. No support group, no amazing forever friends. You get my drift. BUT, how much time is all of this taking away. How many hours have I literally stolen from my kids and husband only to surf the net.

I am not a go-getter in "real life". I am most confident and comfortable within the walls of my own home. So, being able to "meet" ladies with the same interests and views has been a true blessing. In the end, though, I continue to go back to the "what about your family?" question that I truly feel is coming from God. He is trying to get me back on track.

And I have chosen to listen. I will continue to blog for a while. I will blog about our life and our journey to an angel. I will occasionally post updates after we are home. I am realizing more and more that my children need me and I am not always available- not only because of the internet but because of various things that have captured my attention. I will do away those things that are not necessary. We will simplify.

We will continue to use the net for some schooling. It is a wealth of information for the projects my girls work on.

I know that my little piece of cyberspace has opened the eyes to some who may not have realized that so many children do not have families. I hope through this blog that just one family has heard the call to adopt. I pray that this blog is even more than that, though. I pray that God shines through.

In Him,

E
