The Good Portion
I noticed a little technical error on my blog before I went to sleep. While trying to fix it, I got distracted and changed my theme, because the pink flowers were starting to drive me crazy. (They were growing off my computer screen! Really!) So there you have it, folks – another facelift for my little blog.
I miss writing. It’s weird, but I also miss the days when I had a Xanga that only a few people knew about. I could write more about my daily life then, whatever and whenever I felt like it. I’ll still do that sometimes, but it’s different when there are hundreds of strangers reading every day. Not that I don’t appreciate my friendly lurkers – I do enjoy writing for a larger “audience” most of the time.
I have so much to do and so little time to do it in right now. The story of Mary and Martha has been on my heart a lot lately. I’ve been remembering how Mary “chose the good portion” and how Martha was “worried and anxious about many things.” Sitting at the Savior’s feet is so much better than rushing around with a fretful heart. Serving Him is what matters.
Christmas is over, but hope is lingering. Christ’s wondrous love is the same today as yesterday, and it will be tomorrow. I see more my need to cling to Him, my complete helplessness on my own. May He become greater as we become less. I hope your Christmas times were blessed with the favor of our Lord.
I like it Anna!
And I know how you feel…blogging does get a little overwhelming sometimes. Keep it up though, I love reading your posts!
Hey Anna – one thing I have done is use the “private” feature on Wordpress for some of my posts, so my friends can see more pictures and read my random ramblings about life that no one else would be interested in. You just add everyone’s email to the allowed list and create a password, and then all they need to do is log in……works pretty well for me. 
I know what you mean. I tend to just blab on in my drafts for each post, then I go back and edit it for a ‘wider’ audience.
Something about a blog can be seen by anyone makes me extra nervous about every sentence – maybe it will come back to haunt me in later life (or maybe I’m just paranoid!).
Nice new look!
I know what you mean about blogging trouble… a couple of days ago I lost all my comments and couldn’t receive any new comments either. But I managed to fix it before the day went by. (it kinda had me scared though 
)
I miss your writings too. It can pose a problem when your readership does increase and you feel a little awkward sharing your personal musings for the day. I sometimes face the same struggle. You could always start another private blog just for the few people you think would be interested. But still keep up this one for more “defined” posts.
Whatever the case, I hope you continue to blog even though your schedule is very tight (especially with a wedding to plan, etc!). Just like what you shared about Mary and Martha, I love to hear that others are facing the same struggles and read about the hope they find through Jesus, watching as they learn the “one thing” Jesus desires from us all. That is why I like your blog.
Ok, I will stop talking now!
All that to say, please keep it up!
