i don’t know about you but reading blogs make me nervous.

the ones i read make me either torn to pieces sad over the stuff people are dealing with or make me very self-concious about my own ability as a mother.

the sad ones..well, i WANT to read those because I want to participate in praying for people, but I have to watch myself or I just get caught up in reading them like a soap opera.

sometimes it is hard to remember that these are REAL people with REAL pain that need REAL prayers and not just read the post as a continuing kind of voyer into their pain.

it is sort of a sick thing like seeing something horrible but not being able to look away.

i have to remember to remember.

the second type of blog that i read are ones that i am attracted to and yet cause me great distress at times.

you know the kind.

perfect mothers. perfect dinners. perfectly dressed children. perfectly happy marriages. perfect clothes and the part that irritates me the most…

perfect shots with their perfect cameras…

i have to remember…nothing you read, nothing you see is exactly as it appears. we are ALL real. no one is perfect. not them, not you and Certainly NOT me.

today’s Bible verses reminds me…be anxious for NOTHING. i am giving my blog issues to the Lord.
