Last week some time someone posted a link to a recent blog post that really resonated with me. For a few months now I have really been taking inventory of my life and trying to be more productive and proactive with my time. -Especially when it comes to my time with my kids and husband.
The post was titled "How to Miss a Childhood" on a blog called Hands Free Mama. If you haven't read it yet you should go there right now!
{How to Miss A Childhood}
As I read through that list, I'm not gonna lie, a few of those really convicted me to the core. Even after I've already been making a conscience effort to be less technology distracted. It was a real eye opener.
A year or so ago I was in a group that did a study called "The Virtuous Woman: Shattering the Superwoman Myth." It spoke on Proverbs 31 and how to apply it to modern day life. I remember one of the quotes I took away from my time in that group with all of those sweet ladies is, "If the Devil can't make you bad, he will make you busy."
I don't want to ever be too busy. Especially not too busy with things that don't matter. Every night when my head hits the pillow I pray that I have glorified God, and had some kind of positive impact on those around me. Particularly my children and husband. I pray that one day my children will rise up and call me blessed. (Proverbs 31:28)
That is why when I stopped into a local boutique here in my town one day and saw that bracelet, I knew I had to have it.
Anyways, I just had to share that article because I thought it was a great reminder for all of us in this technology driven day and age.
