update and apologies

so, i figured i owe and explanation to the few of those out there reading this. i started this project to get in the habit of being grateful. to noticing the goodness that the Lord gives and to serve as another medium to express praise to my Father. However, I realized recently that this blog began to take the place of time I spent silently seeking the Lord. It began to interfere with prayer and I started to justify it as using it as part of my quiet time. I hesitate to say justified, because at the time, I honestly think I thought that it was okay. That blogging about the Lord was the same as praying or journaling about Him. However, He's revealed to me that it isn't. While this blog is not a bad thing, and something that I still want to do, He's made it clear that His time is His alone and not to be shared. So, I've been taking a break and will continue to do so for a little while until I feel like I won't fall back into the routine I had gotten into. I want this to not be a substitute or addition to the time I spend with Him, but an overflow of the love I have for Him. So until then, I hope you're doing the same.
