Yes, that's right... I am asking you to keep me accountable... a scary, but good thing. :) As you may or may not now, we are currently in the season of Lent in the church calendar, and wow, God is using this time to teach me so many things... way more than I ever imagined! One thing God has been talking to me a lot about lately is how I use my time... or more correctly, how I sometimes waste time. I don't normally waste large amounts of time, but I started thinking about all the little 5 minute periods of wasted time... for example, doing nothing on facebook for 5 minutes... and how I could be using that time for more productive and fulfilling things... like blogging, uploading pictures of our growing boys, even perhaps taking a short video of boy #2, and so many others. But most importantly, I need to spend time telling our amazing family and friends about the incredible things God is doing! It's not enough to just get little tidbits here and there, or when we see you (maybe) once every couple years to just say things are great, and God is good... no, we have the wonderful invention of the internet, and I need to use it for communication. :)
So, I am asking you today to keep me accountable... I am making a personal commitment to spend less time scanning the newsfeed page on facebook and more time blogging and directly communicating with people. I'm always thinking of things to blog, so now you will actually hear those thoughts, too. :) So, expect more blogs soon! And, I don't like blogs without pictures, but my next task is to download recent pictures from the camera... so I leave with an oldie but a goodie. :) This was taken about 6 months after we moved to Manila... pre-baby days, pre-lots of things days... it's so amazing to think how God has changed us and blessed in the last 5 years since this was taken! Love you all, and you WILL be hearing from me soon. :)
