I'll say this - as an older parent of older kids - they are 17 and 19 now - that making resolutions is fine thing pre-child, but when the child gets here you will have to be flexible. In fact, that will be the name of the game until they are as old as mine are! So make your resolutions with the best of intentions, but realize that your commitment will need to stretch and flex for a while...and just be resolved to laugh if you can't live to the level of completion. There's no exhaustion like new-baby exhaustion. But there's also no love like it, either.
That’s part of the whole thing I think. I am trying to plan now so that when baby girl comes I can have a baseline, while acknowledging that everything may change completely.
I still want to read the Bible because I retain it better when doing so— but for when I listen I’ve been trying Dwell Bible app, there is a free trial. So far I’ve enjoyed using it when driving or doing dishes and the like.
Looking forward to reading more of your stuff with your more regular writing schedule.
