God took me through my paces on this one, and we now have a good understanding regarding it all. Don't ever fear stepping away for a week or two or more should God direct. Real life happens on the real pavement of your everyday, and when the computer begins to look like more of a friend, then a real-live flesh and blood friend who stops by for some coffee, time to push away.<br /><br />You'll find your balance; I'm certain of that. You've got a good thing here. It can be a both/and thing in your life.<br /><br />Prayers and peace to you this weekend as you walk your Easter.<br /><br />~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-29505354255572558902010-04-01T04:29:31.714-07:002010-04-01T04:29:31.714-07:00balance is always a challenge . no doubt you will ...balance is always a challenge . no doubt you will do it with graceELKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935251214683485912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-64576481184978399342010-03-31T12:30:25.946-07:002010-03-31T12:30:25.946-07:00...thanks for stopping by Farmhouse and leaving th......thanks for stopping by Farmhouse and leaving the kind words....<br /><br />it means alot to me....<br /><br />sending love,<br />karyMy Farmhouse Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594238190107766755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-66547762976222992302010-03-31T05:47:44.946-07:002010-03-31T05:47:44.946-07:00I agree...taking a break is a good thing.

I have tried not to do blogging on the weekends when he is home and limit that time during the week when he is home. Since our children are grown and at college, the week works better. But even then, I do well to get at least one post up a week, since my work schedule often times means I get home after my husband does.<br /><br />I'm glad that I met you through your blog...Prayers for peace during this time.<br /><br />Blessings & Aloha!(I just came back form a dental conference and straight into work, so blogging has been very limited here). I really appreciate you stopping by and love to read your comment-we are so blessed with the relationships our three children have. I wish I had more of that with my younger brother and sister, but with being married and living away since they were little, I did miss a lot with my brother and sister.)Personalized Sketches and Sentimentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540064662050920859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-20571743903452872782010-03-31T03:09:24.320-07:002010-03-31T03:09:24.320-07:00Lea, I have always appreciated the delightful writ...Lea, I have always appreciated the delightful writing in your blog.

But I think that this word to be careful about what captures our hearts and masters us is an extremely precious and pertinent love letter to all wives and mothers (including me)in this day and age. I appreciate your faithfulness to follow your loving Master's voice and correction. "Her children rise up and call her blessed;<br />her husband also, and he praises her:<br />'Many women have done excellently,<br />but you surpass them all.'"<br />I will look forward to seeing how He leads, because I, myself, am learning that He is glad when we find joy and fulfillment in using our gifts. Life is such a careful balance. I guess that's why we need to guard our hearts so.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994393735624178443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-23394440654411288612010-03-30T20:51:28.680-07:002010-03-30T20:51:28.680-07:00As you said, the Lord's mercy revealed your he...As you said, the Lord's mercy revealed your heart. That's because you obviously listen to Him closely, Lea. He will let you know when it's time to resume. I'm convinced He is the Author of this ministry of yours. <br /><br />I understand how easy it is to "lose your way" but I hope you will find your way back. You've been an encouragement to so many ... me included! I pray anyone who got hurt along the way will be understanding and forgiving because they surely know that wasn't your intention.<br /><br />Keep singing!His Song to Singhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409043596603803798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-82692331970963121022010-03-30T19:43:57.924-07:002010-03-30T19:43:57.924-07:00I will be perusing the archives and praying you re...I will be perusing the archives and praying you return soon (in His timing, of course!).Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152562871467319771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-45266514110535599672010-03-30T18:44:14.316-07:002010-03-30T18:44:14.316-07:00I agree, don't throw the baby out with the bat...I agree, don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

So much help in a few words, for young moms who need good experienced Godly counsel.<br /><br />HAVE to say, I also agree with Aunt Amelia... you have much to share with US as well. Some fun and witty, but some thought provoking with real depth! I've seen it here and been blessed, so God is up to something with your writing. <br /><br />I overdid the whole blog thing at first, and have scaled back on the amount of time I spend reading blogs, but some have become a genuine ministry to my own heart, as well as a fellowship, sharing hearts and prayers.<br /><br />Long comment, but... I hope this is merely a new direction for you, not an ending.<br /><br />Hugs!<br /><br />Sonjahttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-71232502731598463732010-03-29T22:19:23.859-07:002010-03-29T22:19:23.859-07:00aww sad...i will miss your post!

I do enjoy the writing I get to do.<br /><br />But I am sad that I just now found you! I love your honesty and transparency. I think I will go back and read some of your earlier posts just to get to know you. <br /><br />I pray God's sweetest refreshment over you while you regroup. It's honorable to do so, but don't forget the many you minister to through your words! There is a line between a ministry of writing and a self-gratifying hobby.
