When I sat down to compose this post I waffled back and forth as to whether or not I should come up with a witty title. In the end, though, there is nothing clearer than just saying it:

I’m back.

My last post was in May. In blog universe that is akin to saying that you have been on a sabbatical for at least a few dozen years. An absence like that with no warning can and usually is the end of all the hard work one has put into their little spot on the web.

Still. My life became topsy turvy in my first trimester and into my second. Morning sickness like I have never experienced showed up at my door and God used that time to remind me of my human limitedness. During that time we also moved and so I had to take a backseat to my ideals and expectations and learn that life is much better when you hand everything over to God and watch Him through your circumstances.

It was amazing folks.

While chaos and physical discomfort like that is not something I would prefer to experience again, the truth is that I have come out on the other side of this season of my life refreshed, renewed, and – yes! – humbled.

So. What can you can expect from this blog now? To be honest nothing much will change. I will still write about homemaking, home schooling, and the like. I also anticipate some interviews to be shared by some wonderful, godly women.

Yet. Our newest daughter is due Christmas day. And I am learning to make joy and contentment my new usual. So things like our study on Passionate Housewives Desperate for God and my series on organization will have to wait till I am able to tackle those things appropriately. Projects and things on my to-do list will have to be put on a shelf for a while and that will be okay.

I look forward to getting to know my friends and readers all over again. I have missed you all.

It is good to be back.
