Managing the Minutes

Bad blogger.

It’s been more than a month since I’ve posted.  A month since my life got swept up into the vortex of holiday busy and travel crazy.

Turns out, my blog-by-the-seat-of-my-pants strategy didn’t hold up well to the increasing demands on my time. (Shocking, I know.)

But it’s a new year, and here’s what I love about the month of January.

It feels like a clean slate.

And here’s what I’m writing on it –

My time is a gift from God, to be used as He leads, for His glory.

Sometimes it seems there aren’t enough minutes in my day to accomplish all the stuff on my to-do list.

But I serve a God who created time, and He — and He alone — is able to help me manage the minutes to His glory.

So here’s my goal for BrandNewMama in 2012.

This blog is for His glory, created to encourage new stay-at-home moms and point them to the Savior who alone is able to gently guide them through these (sometimes overwhelmingly hard) days.

And here’s the plan that He placed on my heart to carry this out.

• Three posts a week — Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
• Three hours every Saturday morning for writing posts — preferably somewhere out of the house, where I can work without interruptions while sipping something caffeinated and yummy
• Half-hour a day — for social media, responding to comments, commenting on my favorite blogs, and technical issues.

By his grace, and with His help, I can do it.

And how about you, dear mama?  He’s placed a clean slate in your lap.  What’s He leading you to write?

God bless,
Megan
