Identity Crisis

I don't know what to do with this blog. I love it and I hate it all at the same time.  I love it because it contains so many memories and cute pictures and witty posts that I don't remember writing.  I hate it because every time I see it I am reminded about how little time I have to write these days. I am a writer.  It's how I express myself best.  I have dozens of journals stashed in a cardboard box on the top shelf of my closet.  It's how I process life.  Yet it's so hard for me to carve out time to come here and type it all out.  I much prefer a good old fashioned pen and paper. 

Well in a new attempt to revive this old blog I'm going to try to transfer some of my pen and ink writings to the blogosphere.  And maybe once in awhile I'll feel inspired to write about Raising Two Girls and a Little Man....maybe.

Here goes...

"The Lord your God is with you; He is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing."  Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

"Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you.  Happy to have you back, He'll calm you with His love and delight you with His songs."  Zephaniah 3:17 MSG

"Learn to take mini-breaks from the world, finding a place to be still in My Presence and listen to My Voice."  -Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young

I need to do this when I start heading down that road of insecurity, self-doubt, anxiety, need to control -- I need to stop and take a mini-break and soak in His Word, relish His delight in me, trust in His promises for me.  Then I will be able to step back into the world with confidence and love my family and friends out of a place of security and freedom.
