There are so many things I want to talk to you about. It has been hard to identify a good starting place. Writing seems so ... permanent. It is easier face to face. If I am not clearly communicating I can see the question mark in your eyebrows. If you want to hear more, I can see you lean forward in your chair. I will miss that visual and immediate feedback. Here - now - on those precious occasions when the proverbial light bulb goes off and you "get" what ever it is that is important in our conversation, I won't be able to see it. Sad.
On the other hand, there could be advantages to this medium. My sentimental tears won't be a distraction and I think I am less inclined to repeat myself here. I can take as long as is necessary to think through a sentence before I post it. And, if there is an awkward silence no one will hear it.
I want us to talk about important things and not feel rushed. I want to be purposeful and clear. I want to be practical, encouraging, and God honoring. Specifically, I want to start here: Titus 2:4.
I want to urge you to love your husbands and children, to be self controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind and subject to your own husband, so that no one will malign the word of God.
Consider this a description of the most important job you have; a position assigned and highly valued by God. I want to encourage you to do it well.
Thank you for inviting me to a be a part of your blog, momma! I am so proud of you for starting this and can't wait to see what comes of it. You are a great encourager. Don't worry, it will be good for everyone not to feel rushed or worried about crying. Blog as often as you like!
