hi there.

Friends? I am going to take a few weeks off from blogging.
The thing is that the last three months, excepting the beauty of Christmas and being with family, have been overly full. I feel overwhelmed. And a bit disappointed and disappointing.
My life is a tiny bit singed from a constant rhythm of putting out fires.
When the scale’s balance tips, you do what you have to do to survive.
But. I want to do more than just get by.
I need to take some time to get back to what is life giving and hope inspiring and anchor holding.
We’re told not to let small things become big things. But. The way to do that? Is to be faithful in the small things.
And I’ve got to find my way back to that for my family.
Praying for you. Beautiful new site!
Taking time away from blogging was necessary and fruitful for me. As you said — I needed to balance my scales. Looking forward to your return.
hey there, sweet friend. hoping your last week and a half has been more restful, and full of His peace. He loves you, girl, and is not a bit disappointed with you…His heart is overflowing with joy and adoration for you!
I totally understand and have been blogging a bit less than usual. I respect your intentionality tremendously!
praise jesus for wisdom. and obedience. i am grateful for your witness.
thanks, praying for you! xo may you be refreshed and encouraged!
love you for your bravery to take a break. i will miss your thoughtful words on here, but i can only imagine the things that you will learn during this break and eventually share with us again…
Just recently found your blog through Jessi’s blog–naptime diaries. Praying for you. You certainly don’t have to “do it all” and I pray you feel restored in this time.
You go girl! Thank you for giving all of us permission to not “do it all” but to honor God by doing well what we know He’s called us to.
I will miss your beautiful writing and friendship. I also totally understand. Praying for you. We will be here when you are ready!
Praying for you Ellen. You’re so write about those small things. We’ll be here ready to read when you get back!
You are wise. I agree 100% with what you’ve said here. And I for one will be patiently waiting for your return…I put you in my reader. {Now why didn’t I do that sooner?} I hope you find much-needed rest and recharging.
Praying you find peace, restoration and Joy in your hiatus, Ellen.
