Hey friends! Sorry I’m late again to this month coffee date. I’m excited to be here with you guys though to catch up and share what we’ve been up to this past month.
If we met for coffee, I would ask how you’re feeling about the changing seasons. I’m not sure how I feel this year. This past week has been very cold and I am just not really ready to be cooped up in the house for the next four to five months. I am looking forward to the holidays though of course. I just wish that it didn’t mean the inevitable sickness that also spreads throughout the house come wintertime.
If we met for coffee, I would ask what are your priorities when it comes to looking for a church. I believe I mentioned last month that we are looking for a new church after our convictions about salvation theology had become more apparent to us. We are trying our best to come up with a list of our priorities of things that we need in a church but it has been a bit more challenging than I expected.
If we met for coffee, I would share that we got our fall family pictures done last week and I’m always so thankful that we prioritized getting them taken. They are usually quite stressful to plan and to actually take (pictures with little ones is challenging) but they always come out really nice. I love having nice pictures of us as a family frozen in time to look back on in the years to come. I think maybe this year I will share our pictures on the blog.
If we met for coffee, I might bring up the blog and my Youtube channel. It has become more challenging to find the time to work on the blog (hence this post being a week late). It’s also been more challenging to work on my Youtube channel and Etsy shop but I am not setting anything aside permanently. I’ve finally realized that it’s important to, for my mental health to prioritize these types of things. But I also realized that I need to be really flexible when it comes to them as well. I used to swing back and forth between the two and either decided to just not work on them at all because there didn’t seem to be enough time or prioritizing them too much and putting to much pressure on our family for me to have the time to work on them. It seems to be a perfect balance like this. I dislike not having a perfect schedule to follow but it helps me not idolize anything when I need to be willing to set them down maybe for a full week or two.
If we met for coffee, I’d apologize for rambling on for that last point but it’s something I’m usually always thinking about and mulling over. I finally have peace about the decision so I thought I’d share. Do you have a hard time finding the time for yourself in the season of life that you’re in?
Thanks for joining me and for giving grace for me being so late. Don’t forget to check out Bella’s post too and linkup if you have a blog too! 🙂
