if you're actually reading this, chances are this post could hold true for you, too.
blogs. so. many. blogs!
and no time to keep up with them! i admit, there are days i don't even log into my blogspot account, because i know i will want to read. and you can't just read one. in fact, i follow two blogs of friends that are off doing missions around the world right now, and i am email subscribed to their updates. if i did not do that, i would miss each of their musings because i barely make it past all the blog headlines even.
i could spend a week doing nothing but reading and writing blogs, and then maybe, just maybe, i would be caught up. even on these 5 days off, i managed to catch up a little: but i am still missing out on so much.
the problem (and yet, the whole thing i'm thankful for in the first place!) is that i get so much information from the blogs i follow! they transport me to living back in haiti, letting me in on little-known-secrets of life as a missionary, or remind me of how relatable our experiences could be. or, they offer TONS of teaching advice, empathy, strategy, or simply good lesson ideas or freebie printables! (which actually saves time in the long run, am I right?!). then there are the feel-good blogs: about love and travel and jesus. i *hope* my blog winds up in that category, although if it were in google+ it would totes intertwine all of the aforementioned circles! (haiti+teaching+travel+jesus = rhiannondean07.blogspot.com!)
i digress; i genuinely appreciate a good blog. for the connection to a past memory. for the creation in my schema of a future one. for information and ideas that make me better at what i do. for moral support that reminds me the frustrations and emotions and passions i have are real, and i'm not alone in them! i am thankful for a community of blogs and their owners that exist for the betterment of their readers! thank you jesus for freedom of speech.
now, if there were just more time... :)
