Blogging A-Z: B for Balance

August 16, 2010 By 3 Comments

When I first got serious about blogging something I always struggled with was balance between my blogging life and my real life – my faith, my family, my responsibilities as a wife, etc.  I’m sure many of you have struggled with this same thing a time or two.  Blogging can be additive and it’s important to find that balance.

Matthew 6:33 tell us, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” We must always put God first in our lives.

Do you forgo your morning Bible study in order to write a quick blog  post?  Or do you spend time you could be praying to tweet?  It’s so easy to get caught up in all the blogging and social media things going on, but we have to always remember that we need to seek God’s righteousness first.

Same thing applies to our families.  Their needs come before blogging and life on the Internet.  It’s always seem to like be walking a tiprope, finding that perfect balance.  But really when you think about it – is blogging and social media really more important than God and your family?

    Oh my goodness, Courtney have you been listening in on my conversations?

    This is the very subject I was discussing with my sister (who is a christian) this morning.

    I was telling her that recently, I have noticed myself, spending more time on other activities, which include logging on to the net and catching up with my social networking, BEFORE, I have spent time with the Lord!

    I had already decided that God was to be priority first thing in the morning, but as time flew by, this has not always been so.

    Thank you for confirming through your post that I MUST seek God first.

    God bless you more,

    Carole

    I have only been blogging for a few weeks now and you are right, it can be addictive. Spending time with God through prayer and in His word is a priority that I need to commit to once again!
    I’m so glad I found this site; looking forward to reading all the other articles here.
