Greetings...

I know....it's been ages since I last posted on this blog! I guess I've lost a bit of enthusiasm for blogging.

Truth is, I'm finding it a bit difficult to share snippets of my life and NOT to include highlights and photos of my work and my lovely little charges, as I did in the past. If you readers recall that around mid-September I found it necessary to change direction of my blogging posts in an effort to more discretely protect information about my employer, her family and her work. It was much more fun blogging when I could share a slice of my life as a nanny and the various escapades of the three best kids in the world, but I completely understand the need for discretion in this crazy world we live in!

While I am quite thrilled with my life, I am sure that to most people, my daily life would appear very mundane and even 'weird'; maybe just plain 'nuts', to some! My "First Love" is Jesus Christ and serving Him in whatever way He needs. On a daily basis, I try very hard to stay focused on my relationship with Christ and the direction that He is leading me in service and in the work of His kingdom. I am not ashamed to say that it is my heart's desire that ALL of my thoughts would be from Him and of Him and that all my activities would fall directly under His umbrella of Godliness and Goodness. That is an extremely HUGE aspiration and I know very well that I am (and always will be) very far from that goal. HOWEVER, it is clear to me that just because a goal is HUGE and very lofty, it doesn't mean that I am excused from pressing on to reach the goal.

It is the Holy Spirit, I am sure, that is directing me to chose very carefully, the thoughts that I think, the words that I write and the messages that I share, specifically pertaining to blogging. Since I began blogging in early March of this year, I have maintained TWO blogs, one being about my work and related activities, and one that reflects my spiritual journey. While my "Walking God's Way" blog has very few readers, I have, nonetheless, decided that I will solely focus my blogging efforts on that blog, which is more in keeping with the goal for which I strive and the purpose for which I live. Therefore, I will discontinue THIS blog and will look forward to sharing my true and deepest thoughts and ramblings....about my first love...Jesus.

I completely understand if any current readers do not wish to 'follow' my blog 'footsteps' to my "Walking God's Way" blog. "Walking God's Way" is written to share where I am in my walk with Christ, to encourage other committed Christians in their own spiritual journey and to reflect on the teachings and Truth of Christ. If you DO read "Walking God's Way", you will soon learn that I have a deep love of Christ and very strong FAITH in God. In my life, there is little 'wiggle room' to make concessions or compromises that would condone or embrace other 'religions' or beliefs as Truth. For me, TRUTH is found in the Word of God; and it is my sole desire to live out that Truth.

Please understand that I am living a 'FAR from a perfect' walk with God! I am a WAY too weak and carnal Christian; and that grieves me much of the time. In no way do I want to condemn other bloggers or those who use blogging as a therapeutic activity or even as part of their income and work. I ENJOY blogging and writing as many others do and enjoy reading many blogs online! However, the choice to discontinue one of my two blogs, is one I'm making FOR ME, FOR NOW. This choice will allow me to focus more on Christ and the things of God; thoughts and words that have more 'eternal significance'.

While I will inevitably share some of the activities and events that are occurring in my life, please know that my writings in the new blog (well, new OLD blog) will be from the perspective that GOD is Creator and Controller of all things in my life and in this world. It is a Biblical foundation on which I stand and it is a Biblical perspective that leads me onward on my journey. At the same time, this spiritual walk, while I'm here on earth, is carried out while living in my own skin and body. Therefore, my walk varies; at times it is fallible or even foolish. "Walking God's Way" will reflect my spiritual walk...good and bad, certain and strong or weak and wavering. My heart to yours! Feel free to visit that blog at anytime or to pass the blog address on to others who may benefit from encouragement or the lifting up of the name of Jesus!
