I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, but think it’s actually time. Sabbatical; of sorts. A pause.
It has caused me some unease to consider it because I wonder if I’ll lose the few readers I do have. But…that’s one of the reasons I will do it… because I don’t want writing and sharing my heart to be about needing approval and validation. I don’t need an audience to do what I need to do. And what I need to do is write; no fear.
Other reasons for the pause are to find my voice; my real voice. The one that is not afraid. It’s there.
I want to pause so that I may come back refreshed. Renewed. I have plans to re-sculpt my blog… I’ve been all over the place up until now, but I desire focus and some relative form of structure to contain the words that want to pour out; that will pour out. I’m not sure yet what it will look like, but some down time and prayer will provide clarity; I’m certain.
In addition to the pause of writing, at least publicly, I’ll also be taking some much-needed time to take care of myself; my health. I’m going to stop making excuses. My daughter needs a healthy mama. This will require some strength of will and focus.
And…I’ll also be working on fund-raising for my next mission trips. I will be posting a few posts over here, if you’d like to see where I’m going next and keep up with me there. :)
I’m not sure how long I’ll be away…maybe a month or two. I will be reading your blogs and commenting. Y’all keep me inspired and are truly the reason for my being spurred on to the next level. Whatever that level may be. :)
Please stay tuned and if you are a praying folk, I’d be blessed to be held in yours.
I will return. :)
Promise.

I hope that you will get the fullfillment you need! Give your little one lots of hugs and kisses!
Thank you Holly! :)
Enjoy your sabbatical. It is crucial. We’ll still be here. I’ll be praying for you, friend.
Thank you! :)
Understand. Sometimes a break is just needed. Take care of yourself.
Thank you Amira! :)
it’s vital to see this when you need it. your goals are “spot on”, and i have no doubt you will come back renewed, refreshed, and with more clarity. enjoy the hiatus, enjoy the time to focus on what your body and spirit need right now, and enjoy your daughter! the blog world, i’m finding, will always be here. . .
Thank you! :o) Already…there are certain things unfolding that I’m giddy to share, but… will have to wait… :o)~
