Hmmm...what to title this?

This weekend, I'm disappearing from my blog...

I won't be looking at my blog or other blogs...

I am taking a healthy weekend break from the blog-world.

I want to thank you for the encouraging e-mails and blog posts since I have turned my comments off. God has shown me sooooo much since I decided to do that. I know it's only been a couple of days, but it seems longer.

One thing God showed me was that I was making "phone calls" when I blogged, said what I had to say and then "hung up". I then turned off my "ringer" and didn't allow any "phone calls" to come through by turning off my comments. That's kind of a one-way relationship...

I love this world of blogging because of the "interactions" with all of you. I allowed the enemy to get in and steal the joy of doing this through pride.

With God keeping me in check and defining healthy computer boundaries, I will do the job that God has called me to do...to encourage, to edify, and to lift-up others through my blogging.

...and I will allow comments again because I miss you guys...but also because God has shown me what He needed to. Thank goodness I am a quick learner:)

To God be the glory forever and ever and ever!!!!

Love ya!

Yeah! I promise not to say too much nice, ego-building stuff to you. I will help you to stay humble.

ps: Thanks for still commenting on our posts. And I like the phone analogy.

There isn't anything wrong with enjoying your comments. Otherwise, you don't know whether you are talking to the wall or not.
The secret is to not become obsessed about it.
ALSO, you can always do what I do. If I need more comments, I leave myself a few. :)

I agree with ADHD Me. I too like the comments but I really don't live for them. Ok I do get a little upset sometimes when I don't get any but I try not to let it ruin my day. If I get a bad one, I simply try to look at it from their perspective and go on.

We all need those healthy boundaries. I'm creating a few myself so that I can get to doing other things I need to be doing too, but love my bloggy friends. I really don't like not being able to comment on someones blog too. LOL! Have a great weekend Heaven!
