I Was Tagged!

I have seen this little "game of tag" going around some of the blogs I read - and was tickled to see Bobbie Jo tagged ME in her blog - Just Me - Bobbie Jo.
The challenge is to write a story, incorporating the names of blogs one frequently reads. Hmmm.....this may turn a little CRAZY!!! :)

In the last few years, I have been feeling a little more DOMESTICALLY INCLINED, yet I had high hopes of KEEPING IT SIMPLE. After working full time for a few years, I longed to just be a FRUGALLY OLD-FASHIONED HOMEMAKER again. I wanted my home to become A SOFT PLACE TO LAND at the end of a long day not just a hotel for weary bodies.

And so about a year or so ago, I was introduced to the world of BLOGS - where I could find other woman who wanted to be BLISSFULLY DOMESTIC. I also found women who were CHATTING AT THE SKY and talking about what God was doing in their lives. Reading this variety of blogs was LIKE A WARM CUP OF COFFEE or sometimes like reading the DIARY OF A SAHM, letting me on the secrets of life, good cookin, loving God and your family to the fullest!

As I transform my house into a NESTING PLACE again, I am remembering the role I hold as wife, mother, homemaker - instead of just employee, person in the ministry, someone who is too overwhelmed to enjoy life. I am seeking the balance - but the thoughts of HOME are more compelling as I want to enjoy THE BLESSED NEST of Home Sweet Home. I am such a home body - and though I want to continue to help and reach out to others at church - I long for quieter, more domestic days at home - and am thankful for the chance to once again rock a baby and slow down a little to enjoy the discoveries so important to toddlers. I can truly say, "IT IS WELL."
