I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I’ve come to a conclusion. I blog for me. I write for me. For me to remember. For me to enjoy. For me to think back on things and contemplate them. So if everything I do here is for me, why should I say I’m not going to talk about this or that when it’s something that’s a part of me? Although it’s wonderful to have readers, honestly I don’t have very many at the moment & although I would love to have more readers I’ve decided not to worry about that any more. I’m going to be me and that’s it.
Most of my life I’ve always written a journal, sometimes every day, sometimes once a month, but I always was writing. I stopped writing around the time I got married & I’ve honestly missed it. I’ve missed that stress release. I’ve missed talking things out with just me to figure them out. So I’ve decided to get back to more of that and I’m going to use this space to help out.
The first thing that has been on my mind has to do with this past weekend. Although awhile ago I told you why I don’t talk about religion and politics, I’m going to talk about it today. I’m going to tell you that we are Jehovah’s Witnesses. Before you judge me, stop. I’m asking you not to judge me. If you want to know more about my religion and what we believe you can visit jw.org. But, if you don’t want too that’s ok too.
I’m letting you know now, you’re going to see post about going to meetings, assemblies and conventions, & our family worship night. If you’re not one of Jehovah’s Witnesses it doesn’t mean you can’t read these post, or even use something from the post (i.e. Printables, notebooks, etc.). All I’m doing is asking for you to please be polite, grown ups about this & if you don’t have some nice to say don’t say anything at all.
If you are one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, it’s nice to meet you brother/sister. I hope you find what you are looking for here & if you don’t I hope you let me know so I can help out. Soon the blogging will be going under construction & when it’s all said and done we will return with some handy links for you.
With all that being said, this past weekend we went to the circuit assembly in English. Since I’m a “crossover” and still don’t 100% understand Spanish we try to catch all of the important events in English & will even include English meetings on a semi-regular basis in addition to all of our Spanish meetings, assemblies & conventions.
Anywho, I’m rambling again. The circuit assembly was so encouraging. We had already had our Spanish assembly back in October. It was also a special assemblies for us because one of the congregations in our small town {we only have 3, 2 English & 1 Spanish} was the host congregation for the district overseer and he gave an awesome talk on Tuesday. That talk on Tuesday was really the final push we needed to make sure we were at this assembly. We had a substitute district overseer from California, who was so funny & he would find these ways to say things very straightforward, but not in a way to offend anyone. Needless to say we will miss him.
It’s just about impossible to get a picture of the husband, so this one below is only one of two pictures that I got the whole weekend, the other picture being identical to this one, but with my mom.
