Reflection

We're having a morning musing instead of a midnight musing today. That is, as long as my kiddos let me...

Why do I blog? The question of the hour. It's an outlet for me. I enjoy it. But wouldn't it be an outlet just to journal, instead of letting the world in on it? Hmmm...

Another reason I blog is to be a part of the blog community. Checkin' in on others blogs, they checkin' in on mine.

Another reason is to show Moms that they aren't alone in this mothering business. And by making myself a bit vulnerable, I hope they can see that.

Another reason? To tell the world of the wonders of adoption.

Another reason? To tell the world of the wonders of Christ and His love.

But am I a good example of that? The last reason I mean. Unfortunately most days I fall short. One thing God has been convicting me of, especially last night and this morning? Pride. Nasty, awful thing. Pride comes to play in my blogging as well. How many people read my blog today, this week? Did anyone comment?? Why do others get more comments/readers? Yucky, icky pride. To stop the pride bug on my blog, I'm removing my counter. It doesn't matter. I need to have a blog audience of ONE. My Lord and Savior.

A church friend told me Sunday that she lived vicariously through my blog. I had some lame comment about the circus that is my life (Most days I enjoy this circus, by the way). I wish I would have said, "How's that?" Or asked her about her life. Cuz I know she's been busy! So maybe, friend, next time I see you, I won't be so wrapped up in my little world. And if you feel like it, you can explain it to me. Or better yet, tell me about your life. I'd love to hear!!
