Things in common

This afternoon I surfed and surfed the web to find a blog ring. Found one. Came across several interesting blogs. Reading them can be very addicting :-) But this evening I find that I am encouraged...just to know someone's out there kinda like me.

'Tis not easy sharing my thoughts with the "world" but this takes me outside of myself and I would like to meet new people and besides, if my kids can do this on myspace & xanga why can't I? LOL

O.k. so like this first post is going to be quite random and maybe a little frantic. I am typing with two hands for the first time in many days...I have a newborn and he is usually nursing on one side or the other which definitely prohibits fast typing. Got no complaints about him being in my arms most of the time though. He is our little miracle baby and I am so glad he's here!!!

Not getting much sleep either and that has an effect on me. But today I acknowledged again to myself that what I really miss is my morning devotions with the Lord. Leisurely reading my Bible and praying while most of my kids are doing independent studies in our homeschool. My essentials: God, sleep, and water...
