When I started this blog, it was suppose to be "my space". My specifically, my therapeutic space.I very seldomky give myself this time. I do my devotional and rush off to start my day. Without this space I often time neglect the deep reflection I need to keep things in perspective. It is very easy to loose yourself in motherhood when u have alike one home with u. Yet I know Noah is exactly where she is suppose to be. My devotional time with God has been rich and full of wisdom, strength and peace. God is helping me to know what I need and when I need it. As a mom and wife u cannot get caught up in thinking that u need certain things all time. I try to stY away from advice that says things like " I need 1 day a month to myself".

I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou
