Many years ago back in 2010, June 14th to be exact, I started a blog, it was the perfect escape for me because I loved to write. I loved to write poems, I loved to write songs, I simply loved to write. One day I just pulled the trigger and ventured out there into cyberspace! The timing for this was good because my husband and I had been renovating our first home. It was weird, new and exciting. During that time we enjoyed writing about our home renovations as we had MANY!!! This blog was the perfect place to document all of our house updates.
Furthermore there was a time in my life when I just felt lost and that I wasn’t quite where I was supposed to be. I hated my job, I felt stressed out and like I was living groundhog day in perpetuity. I would talk with my husband about it and together we decided that maybe it was time for me to quit my job. That gave me more opportunity to write and document life. All was well, my blog even gave me the opportunity to be on the Nate Berkus Show! Remember him? He was Oprah’s go to Home Makeover expert. They discovered my blog, reached out to see if I’d be interested in being on the show, and they flew me to New York. I was blown away to say the least. Once returning home, in the subsequent days I’d began receiving numerous decorative items for my home. It was truly an unreal experience.
Chris and I had a blast just doing us. We eventually were married and had our first daughter. Immediately after that, I pretty much realized that I could not keep up with blogging along with parenting. Fast forward, we had a second little girl and were enjoying life as a beautiful family of four. As the years went on, life was pretty great until it wasn’t. God had a different plan.
God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand His wisdom, but we simply have to trust His will.
Psalm 37:5
That brings me to Methodical Me, many years later. It’s like Me part 2. The first part of my life was everything. Part 2 is Gods way of saying that I need to be challenged just a bit more. Methodical Me is me being methodical in every part of my life. Methodical Me is me growing in my faith, learning to trust Him. Methodical Me is me learning to be a good steward over my life, my children, our home, our finances; ALL THE THINGS. Being methodical is finding order, approaching things in a systematic manner to avoid being swallowed up by the overwhelm. Methodical Me is me creating calm from chaos…or at least trying to.
