A Study in Brown had some great thoughts on blogging. I wanted to highlight them here and encourage you all to keep laying down your tracks. They are valuable.
We are leaving tracks for the ones who come behind. Here in these pages lie our stories, the playbook of our lives: hilarious and humdrum, simple and profound, dull and surprising. Here we testify of what it means to walk out our salvation, to trust in God, to worship in spirit and in truth.
I loved kids from a young age. I was the church “child care helper” and the resident babysitter growing up. I have worked with young children it seems all my life. Non of it has compared to being a Mom. Now that I have my own wonderful children, it seems that they have met that need in me that seemed to be there since I was very young. I use to gush at other peoples kids, and now I gush at my own.
I have owned my own business for the better part of 10 years now. I also love building, thinking, promoting etc. my own business. The idea of seeing something go from an idea to reality is very fulfilling to me as well. Now that I am fully into the mothering role, building business isn’t even as fun anymore.
I have found myself fulfilled in a way that nothing else could by becoming a Mom. In this season I get to leverage myself like no other. In leadership or business you are supposed to duplicate yourself over and over again to advance your cause or mission. I sounds great but is very hard. Weather you think about it or not in parenting you are doing just that. With parenting you are creating little versions of you. The good and the bad. The philosophies and the cleaning skills are all absorbed by our little charges. It is a revealing process that challenges me to be better and to pray that God blesses the work of my hands especially where it concerns our children. Putting my hand to this task has been the hardest and best thing I have ever done.
