My Apologies

So, whether you have missed me or not, I am back...at least for now.  After several weeks of no blogging, I have come to a few realizations: (1) blogging was wearing me out, yet (2) despite all the work, I love to write!  Needless to say, I need to find a better balance for myself, especially at this stage in my life.  I have a needy (i.e. wonderful) husband, two little girls under three, and another baby on the way.  

Yikes!  I know!  Yes, that's my "life-changing" news!  A blessing from the Lord, no doubt, but a monkey wrench in my plans.  The expression "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans" comes to mind.  I know children are a gift from God.  I have been praying for an attitude adjustment ever since I learned I was pregnant because, honestly, I am tired and another newborn and all that accompanies them, exhausts me.  Yet, I can tell my prayers are working because I can already feel the Lord transforming me, changing my heart and energizing me, despite my fatigue and nausea.

I apologize for my absence and intend to be more present. However, I don't know about menu planning...at least not until this all-day morning sickness subsides.  

My goal for "Growing in His Glory" is still the same: to encourage and help women grow in God's glory as His daughters, as wives, and as mothers, in keeping with I Corinthians 10:31.  That is my own personal goal and something I need plastered front and center in my life every day, especially right now.    

I pray God's richest blessings on you and your families.  Thank you for all your kind words, prayers, and scriptures over the past few weeks in my absence.  That has been a real treasure to me.
