I heard someone say the other day that once upon a time people wrote books ( I KNOW! Can you believe it?). After a while someone decided that that was a time waster and invented the blog. Then that took too long and so we entered the modern age of Facebook and Twitter.
Therefore: the slow death of the blog.
It’s way too easy to Facebook. I get more comments, and it’s quicker. And you can be smart and quippy. I haven’t twittered yet.. mainly because I really don’t get the difference between that and updating your status (in fact people often connect the two so they don’t have to update both constantly). And, I don’t know, it seems a bit boring and one-dimensional *gasp*.
So why am I updating my blog if FB is so cool? Well… I can’t sleep and I have words running around my head and I needed to get them out. That’s all.
Life is .. well.. going quickly. It doesn’t seem so long ago that I was 8 months pregnant, moving to a suburb where we didn’t know anyone, entering the SMBC world and wondering whether we’d bitten off more than we could chew.
We’re now approaching the end of first year. I have completed my first subject (and am awaiting final results), Haoran is well and truly neck-deep in study for exams, and we have a 7 month old son! I look back and am in awe of the way God has blessed us this year.
I really am adoring being a parent – even despite the times you want to scream (see last post). I love playing with my little boy and watching him explore the world and develop. He just constantly amazes me. I feel like I was made to be his mum.. and at the same time I can’t believe I am a mother to such an adorable boy! Rightio.. I’ll stop gushing now.
The year to come is going to be full of new challenges. Like taking our first overseas trip with a bub. Like becoming parents to a TODDLER. Like spending more time being a part-time student. Like entering the endurance part of a church plant. Like thinking about what post-college might hold.
It’s going to be a fun ride..
