This is a new year…..a fresh start….each day, a new day with no mistakes in it.
Last year I started the new year by writing a family focus statement, listing the areas that I wanted us to focus on and a daily schedule throughout the year.
This weekend, I was excited to do it again. I chose to focus on less, to encourage us to do better in each area.
In 2013, I have prayerfully decided that I will not be able to visit all of the blog posts linked up each week. I’m going to miss reading each of your blog posts, but it is something I must do for the good of my family. They are the most important ministry to me.
Don’t lose hope yet! I will be sharing EACH post on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and G+ to send traffic your way! I believe this will be MORE beneficial for y’all than just having me stop by and comment.
I pray you understand and will swing by corners as my alone/down time may permit! 🙂

Good for you for putting your family first. Thanks for continuing with the party– but I figured out too, that I could spend all my time reading GOOD blog posts, or I could pick and choose, sometimes randomly. We can’t be everywhere or do everything!

Very good choice! One thing I have seen is that blogging – just like anything else can be so good – but it can also eat up more time than we can afford to give it. 🙂 I look forward to all the new changes. 🙂

Yes, my family must be more my priority this year. I loved reading everyone’s posts, but it took up a lot of time. I can’t stay up all hours like some because I get sick if I don’t get enough sleep 🙁 Love ya girly!

Thank you for your post and for hosting. I totally understand your plan to not read each post linked to your site every time since, as you so well said, family is first! Have a blessed 2013 and may the reality of Christ in your life be more than evident in you this new year.
