This morning as I was going through the prompt for this morning’s Ultimate Blog Challenge and I saw it was asking us to share “One Piece of Advice” for a subject or activity you have a lot of knowledge around? If you were giving your one best tip to someone brand new to that subject or business, what would you tell them? What do you wish you’d known when you were new to the question or activity?
For me, I thought of sharing a parenting tip, but that didn’t sound right. Then I thought of sharing a Homeschooling tip as I thought that was what I was supposed to share. Although as I started to write the post, I could hear someone telling me that wasn’t what I should share either. So I sat here scratching my head when I thought I should share a blogging tip.
Once again I knew it wasn’t what I was supposed to share. I pushed myself away from the computer, and I stood up to walk my ten minutes I walk each hour to help me lose the weight I need to lose. As I begin to walk all I felt was guilt as I wasn’t working and I knew that wasn’t what God wanted.
I sat down, and I took a look around my home, and I saw I had to neglect my family as all I had been doing was sitting here on the blog and I knew that wasn’t the Lords will for me as a wife and mom. So this morning the piece of advice I would like to give you is don’t forget to breathe and always take time for your family.
They must come first after the Lord as work will be here, but one day they may not be. So come and join me this morning and share one piece of advice with me that would help me stay on task and more focused and help me figure out how to blog, homeschool and homeschool without pushing my family to the side.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
