I realized after a year that moving COMPLETELY changed my entire schedule (I know, I'm a little slow ;)). It's taken me a while to REALIZE that and now, to do something about it. :)<br /><br />~Amanda<br /><br />"He must increase, but I must decrease."

Technology is such a blessing, but I let it control my time more than I should. <br /><br />At one time I scheduled "internet hours" for myself and only checked email weekdays at 8am and 8pm (unless we were in a midweek church service, then those times got postponed). Then blogging was done around the lunch hour. Using those guidelines, I got far more accomplished than I imagined I could. And I had more time for my family, who didn't "get on my nerves" nearly as much since I wasn't as stressed about time restraints. I really need to get back to that. Thank you so much for this wonderful reminder to keep a quiet heart.Natalie Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197043273258414949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081546722279849822.post-44308114863465088832015-08-15T12:18:52.315-05:002015-08-15T12:18:52.315-05:00Thank you for your humility in sharing about this,...Thank you for your humility in sharing about this, Amanda!! Praise the Lord for those times when He gently turns our eyes back on Him and may we always be sensitive to His small, still voice when He calls us back home!Kenzi Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844694422707317892noreply@blogger.com
