I just found your blog recently, and really appreciate the information you share with everyone. Having said that, my blog is a "content rich" blog too for parents in my city and takes some time to pull the information together. I have felt very busy (Busy! Shockingly busy! Yes I was signing along :) lately too and I realized I was a little out of focus. SInce this is the third post I have read in 30 minutes about being overly busy, I am going to do a post about it too, and link back to yours and the other ones I came across as well.

Your transparency is extremely encouraging. Your blog is among a number of blogs that I have discovered recently that is providing me with a terrific community of homemaking ideas and spiritual encouragement. I am a WAHM, and during the spring and summer, I actually have two jobs that I do at home in addition to caring for my 1yo daughter. My life is crazy right now as I'm experiencing life as I never have. My house is a mess, as are my priorities, as many days have gone by where I have spent little to no time with my Lord and precious little time with my husband. Tonight, I am weary. Each night I go to bed thinking that some how I will make the next day different, and then when the next night comes, I face the discouragement that it was the same as every other day. I think I know what I need to do, but carrying out the action is most difficult. Thank you for your encouragement to re-evaluate the priorities in our lives and honor God and our families with our time.

I can relate! Although I don't have a blog, life sure can get busy and unbalanced at times. I am glad you shared with us. I think we all need to be more transparent with our struggles. I will pray for you as you seek to put balance back into your life.

Oh, Stephanie! It's family first, always! Well, God first, then family, then work. We understand! Now I can catch up on your older posts since I just discovered you. :)

We need this kind of transparency in every aspect of the Christian walk. Our attempts to appear perfect in front of other does little to uplift and encourage...and in fact has the opposite effect. Thanks for this.

Stephanie - I adore your blog and love your posts, but I have always thought it must take SO much out of you! I completely understand where you are coming. COMPLETELY. Thanks for this encouragement to all of us to make sure we are keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing.

Oh I can so relate to this post. I am now writing for two blogs, one of my own and one I am paid for. I too find it overwhelming and find myself distracted and distant. Glad to see I am not alone in this and what I started doing to stay home with my kids is pushing me farther away. Atleast they are close by as opposed to daycare where they used to be for 9 hours a day. Horrible feeling that was. God Bless and hope you find peace soon.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
