You picked a fine time to…

start blogging again!

It’s true.  I haven’t blogged in a very long while.  The reasons are varied.  First of all, there has been a lot of (normal for a pastor’s wife and mother of five) stress in my life over the past year or so and I just didn’t have the emotional energy to give to the ole’ blaaawg.  Secondly, my jewelry business really took off and while I only do one show a week, it still requires daily attention on the business end.  And…  just to keep life interesting, I also took a part time job working 7 or 8 hours per week at a dental clinic here in town owned by some good friends of ours.  I was/am loving all of the new things in my life, but something had to give.  The sub title of my blog is from Titus 2 about a Christian woman’s priorities.  I had to give up the blog to stay true to those priorities.

But now I’ve adjusted to all of the new things in my life and I think that perhaps I might be able to squeeze in “thisonesforthegirls” again.  My good friend Jules offered to move me over to WordPress and I guess I just couldn’t resist.

So–  just to get this think kickstarted–  I’ll just say here in this first post of the year that I’ve missed all of you and I’m glad to be back.  Here’s hoping that I can “give back” some and be as much of blessing to all of you as so many of you are to me.
