I so love blogging. I love reading them. I love writing them. In fact, I have a history of serial blog creation and abandonment because I've had a hard time figuring out what I should be blogging about. A good blogger needs a topic. Last year during the election season I was blogging madly about politics and news events. It worked for a while, but the truth is that I'm just not an expert about politics and news events. There are way too many people who do it better. So I've been thinking for months, what can I really blog about and be ME?
And then it came to me.
The Bible says that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. My treasure is my family. That's where my heart is all the time. I am a mom. That's who I am and what I do. But I also have a career. I love it, but I struggle every day of my life to figure out the balance between the two. For years, I had no peace about the situation. But I found it in the last year or so. I finally accepted that being a working mother is who I am and what I do. I need to stop feeling guilty about that, embrace the path God has given me, and figure out how to do it victoriously.
So a year or so I gave up the fight that I would someday be a stay-at-home mom. I know that I will always be a working mom. And I am finally Ok with that.
And so my blog idea was finally born: Momma Works
The Zoesphere blog will continue as a more personal blog for sharing photos of the kids and updates on family stuff -- for people who know us and love us and actually want so much detail. But my "writing outlet" that I've been longing for will be the Momma Works blog. Check it out if you're interested ...
