My younger sister and I were talking about our husbands and what it takes to be 'happily' married and we talked about your blog and all that you say about marriage. It was as if you were right there with us! I will miss you! I'm thrilled you will still post every once in a while on facebook so we won't go cold turkey. And you are leaving your blog up. I have gone to your blog a few times looking for guidance on parenting, marriage and home making. xoAnita Junttilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633209721595395882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-33346072228693722732011-08-08T09:00:55.334-05:002011-08-08T09:00:55.334-05:00Hey ladies..I THINK I've found a middle road. ...Hey ladies..I THINK I've found a middle road.

We've gotten to know each other's heart thru blogging and I know that this is a difficult decision for you...but I do agree that family comes first. The thought crossed my mind in just the past few days that I might quit blogging every day, and just maybe 3-4 times a week...but like you, I'm leaving that in God's hands. I do look forward to "Comin' Home" popping up in my Inbox, and I stop by and read, but don't always comment, and I apologize for that. Take care...love you...and know that you will be missed...but you're not that far away...I can still "talk" to you on FB!!!

It took me a while to realise that blogging was consuming me too much and that I was spending too much time on it. I think you are making a good decision about leaving the blog up though, because after a break you might want to come back to it, even if you only post once a week. I seem to be posting 3 times a week and one of them is just a wordless Wednesday post. I have just started a new weekly linky party as I've changed Sunday Song a bit but that is because I seem to do less blogging during the week.<br /><br />We will miss your home-making advice and faith guidance but please know that you have done so much good for so many people! It truly is an honour to know you.<br /><br />Take care and enjoy life!<br /><br />Blessings and best wishes always,<br />Natasha.Natasha in Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975487981963489572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630829430019968762.post-86546347650553340802011-08-06T17:37:12.756-05:002011-08-06T17:37:12.756-05:00Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all yo...Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
