I just read this post (Nov. 15) and the timing was perfect. Last night driving home from Wednesday night church I was thinking about my life. I am heart broken, grieving, and overwhelmed by so much. As a result I haven’t been cooking, cleaning, homeschooling or writing. Just running away to my computer, the t.v., the mall–and feeling guilty about it all. I thought specifically of you and wondered how you keep your balance. Thank you for being real. The Lord has used your words (again) to minister to me.

I’m with you! I was/am completely overwhelmed by everything, and the to-do list in my head keeps growing. I am going to minmize my time online, not really because I get lost in cyber space (although I do sometimes!), but because the comparison that goes on my head adds even more stress. I hope you have the best November ever!

I love your vulnerability – it comes with great courage and wisdom.

Completely understand… I feel the same way, maybe I should follow in your footsteps and get off line too!

We need to focus on the right things. Good for you for recognizing that you need this time. May the Lord bless you Sarah Mae.

Thanks for being so real here for all the ones who are thinking, “Bigger, better, more…” Our most important sphere of influence is first at home, and precious are the years we have to sow Godly seeds in our children. Impossible to do if they only see the back of our head while we’re glued to the computer. As a new blogger, I went to Allume thinking bigger, better, more…and came home realizing small has it all. God bless you as you recommit your time and energy!

I completely understand this. I struggle so much, and I know I need to stop and go back to the way I used to be- without so much craziness from social media. My family is what counts. Blessings to you Sarah Mae. I admire you so much for this post!
