It's funny, I have a thousand things in my head that I want to say, but I'm never really sure what to share with you. I don't know why you read the blog, I don't know what things about our life that mean the most to you.
When so much time goes by, because life is what it is, and I choose my family and cooking over you, I am left with dozens and dozens of things to share from the last few weeks, but I don't know where to start.
I am not a food blog.
I am not a crafting blog.
I am not a parenting blog.
I am not a devotional blog.
I am not a ministry blog.
I am not a political blog.
I am not a reduce, reuse, recycle blog.
I am not a GF blog.
I don't know what I am.
I guess currently, I am having an identity crisis and don't know where to start with you the reader.
Christmas, New Years, traveling, meltdowns, spiritual awakenings, food revelations, recipes, crafts, life, frustrations, speaking at youth events, revelations all have happened in the last couple weeks, but I don't know which piece of this puzzle I call my life that you are interested in.
Most of the time, in true confession, lately, I think I don't really even understand the point of my blog. What is so unique about what happens in my life that is worth mentioning to others? My life feels very normal and similar to so many I know, so why would you want to read about it?
Alright, I feel like putting that out there at least allows me the freedom to just start anywhere.
Unless you can tell me, why do you read my blog?
Moved by art, music, the written word, kindness, generosity, the Spirit of God, family, food, joy, the natural world, and love. Always love.
I read it for all the things you write :) I love the variety you provide and I love you! :)
ReplyDeleteI read it because you write really well. You put your thoughts into words, it way that seems so effortless.
ReplyDeletePlus, as the name of the blog indicates, this is just about life. It is good to be reminded and connected with other people's lives and see that their struggles and joys are just as real as mine. And having had the opportunity to get to know your family a little at Outlaw Ranch, I like hearing what is happening as your children grow.
It helps me stay connected to family that I love so dearly through the eyes of the incredible mother of the household. I rejoice with your triumphs, be it food or family or spiritual. I prey through your struggles, no matter the topic. I appreciate the way your write because I feel like you are right there in front of me having a conversation with me, filling me in on all of the goings on in your life.
ReplyDeleteI read it because your life feels very normal and similar to mine and others I know, because you are an excellent writer and story teller, because I LOVE how you are real, strong, weak, patient, passionate. I love how you use your life to spread God's light to your family, friends, neighborhood and all those you don't even know!
