Paranoid.....

So I must say that I love the blogging world. What a way to connect with others around the world, inspiring comments, a place to encourage others, pray chains, etc, etc! I was and still am at times very reluctant. You see, I am a social worker that works with some challenged people. I love my work, I love my job......I must say, nothing is more rewarding them helping others through counseling. To be blessed with the gift of helping others change their lives is a GIFT from GOD above and only HIM! It is amazing when I am able to speak of HIM with others. This is a complete NO..NO in most terms, however when people bring it up, I share HIM with them and it is such a blessing. I always keep in the back of my mind that HE is using me to share HIS works with others. I have seen some AMAZING miracles. You see I work part time as a family therapist for CPS referred clients, and also as a Social Worker for Neonatal Intensive Care, Pediatrics, and Labor & Delivery. I am soooo blessed!! There is a part of me, however that keeps my life VERY private as it makes me and my family vulnerable to the evils of the world. I have to make reports to CPS frequently about mother's/father's who are abusive or neglectful to their children......so you can see that I would want to protect my family from outsiders!! Keep my little boys safe from the harm that someone may want for ME!!

TO make matters more complicated, my husband is a police officer. I could not be more proud of his work as he protects not only our family, but our community from drunk drivers, domestic violence, etc, etc. YES, YES, he gives those annoying speeding tickets, but hey it is part of the job.....right??? Anyway, this is ANOTHER reason why we need to protect our family. Every post, I think, maybe I should make our blog "private", but this makes me sad, because I do not know how many are effected by our blog.....maybe people do not leave comments. I read plenty of blogs that impact my life that I do not always leave comments.....

Anyway, enough about this, just wanted to let you know that.......I LOVE BLOGGING!!

  1. Hi there, I came across your blog from Kelly's Korner and I just read your post. I feel the same way, my husband is in law enforcement and it's a little scary at times. I had my blog on "private mode" for the longest time. Then I realized that there was a great "blog world" out there filled with supportive Christian women and I wanted to be a part of that. It's always a constant thought in the back of my head though. Just wanted to let you know that I can relate. Have a great day!

  2. I have wanted to start a blog (I always have one "running" in my head...ha) but my thoughts are just like yours. You have to weigh the pros with the cons, and I think the way you write and your experiences are blessings to many people. I came over from Kelly's blog - your house is gorgeous!
