aka This Pilgrim’s Progress
One of the problems I have with blogging is that I have quite literally hundreds of things to say. Right now (and thankfully for YOU), I’ll focus on just a few of them.
First, no matter where we’re at right now, God’s got this. He’s holding us close in the palm of His hand.
He loves us and wants nothing more than our trust.
Aren’t we cute? He has numbered the very hairs on our head warts on our back.
Second, my computer’s hard drive has gone kaput. I’m writing this post on the kids’ computer and it feels weird, like I’m invading their space. (Also? Who the heck spilled their DQ Blizzard on the desk? And then just left it? That’s gross! I mean really!)
The irony isn’t lost on me, that I’ve posed the question “What is God’s will for my blogging?” and then, justlikethat, my computer goes down.
Where there’s a will there’s a way, however! I did want to check in with you and say thank you for taking the time to comment. I had to smile (and wince) when I read Jennie C’s comment:
“Margaret, you ask this question so often, that I think you already know the answer. We love you, to be sure, but maybe it’s time to step back without guilt for a season. Your kids are growing older, and older children are more demanding of our time. Something has to give, and this is probably it. Don’t quit blogging if it gives you any measure of joy. Do quit blogging if it’s one more thing on your to-do list. Or – best of both worlds here – write what you want when you want without worrying about what a bunch of people on the internet think. And clean your house anyway. It’s easier to write in a tidy space.”

You can come for a week! Just bring the kids, too! Thanks so much for the surprise visit for Jamie. She is a gem. She is still around so another get together might happen!
Thank you for catching me up on the goings on…I can finally breathe and I'm so thankful for YOU just stepping up amidst the chaos of like and running the art room with Laura. My kids loved having your add their teacher. That's the toughest tomb and you rocked the house. As usual 🙂
I Loved this!
First, let's hear a big "Fhew! VBS is over!" Ha…isn't that the feeling?
I love what JennieC said to you….she should be your spiritual advisor. Heck, she should be all of ours.
I was so happy your surprised us and came to the party…it was a fun time…filled me up. I'm smiling now as I type this. Her home is just a big of heaven out there….
Yes, clean the house and blog when you want. I like that.
You made me smile, as always. Jenny C has got it right. Those of us who have “known” you for so long and love you to pieces will be here to read whenever you post. No judging at all. We totally get it. Life.
It was so good to see you last week and I look forward to your post (heck, I look forward to actually getting around to writing MY post!!) on Jamie’s party and CVBS. I am so grateful the get together was last week and filled my cup to flow into this week because this week is well, different and miserable and painful. All those fun baby days things. It’s a rough one.
Enough about me. Again, thank you for blessing us IRL last week and for always being here with your true heart and humanness to humbly share with us.
Yay, another Penderwicks book! I read the first three aloud to my kids based on your recommendation a while ago and we loved them and were so sad that there weren’t any more. So glad to know that there is another!
