When I began this blog about two years ago I had a vision to provide encouragement for mothers with a focus on homemaking and home education. Soon after I narrowed it down to sharing ways to enhance everyday living for mothers with young ones. Since that is my current period of life I figured that this purpose would best fit who I am and what I was capable of.

Over this pregnancy I re-evaluated the needs of my family and myself and cut out unnecessary or superfluous activities. I decided to continue blogging because not only did my husband insist that I needed to do it but also because I feel that blogging is part of the gifts that God has given to me. I am by no means a great blogger but it does allow me to reach out to my Christian sisters while not interfering with my more important duties of being wife and mother.

At the same time I knew that my heart was no longer in the mommy blogging arena. This niche of blogging required me to put in more writing time then I felt I had to produce posts that were worth reading. Since mediocre content and spotty posting are not what I strive for I knew that I needed to make a decision on where Wisdom Begun was headed.

After much prayer – and when I say much I mean A WHOLE LOT of prayer – I knew that if I wished to continue blogging my focus would have to change gears. I considered very carefully how I could add to the blogging world and looked at the issue from all angles. And I prayed and prayed and prayed and asked for the Holy Spirit’s wisdom in this matter. Soon enough I came to the realization that I could no longer blog at this spot.

So. I will no longer write regularly here at Wisdom Begun. Occasionally I will post as I feel led but instead my blogging energies will be going towards my new project. Coming August 30, 2010, I will be launching a brand new food blog geared towards recipes and tips to help you feed your large families. This blog will allow me to share what I do every single day and I look forward to a fresh perspective on the blogging world. You will find recipes that have been doubled or tripled (or more!) to help feed your crowd, as well as ideas on bulk cooking, menu planning, and other helpful ideas.

I am truly excited about this and will be posting updates in the next couple of weeks. I am grateful for those who have faithfully visited Wisdom Begun over the years and I appreciate the relationships it has brought about. Since I will leave Wisdom Begun up I hope that what I have provided here will continue to be a blessing for many years to come.
