Communication has Failed

Here is the deal.

There has been some hold up on blogging because of various reasons. One, our life got crazy busy, with school, baseball, church, family, more school and more church. Second, I felt very strongly that my blogs were used as info for conversation. This is how people found out about our lives and communication was lost. There was no need to actually know about our life; instead the blog was the outlet into our lives.

With so many social media sites, and such easy access to communication with others, true communication is lost.

I love writing, I love letting people get a glimpse of my beautiful children.

I apologize that I haven’t let ya’ll see into our lives. I got to where even on twitter, facebook, etc that I didn’t want to post pictures nor did I want to do  any status updates that gave any indication on how we were doing. Why know me through the internet if you don’t want to know me face to face. I’m not talking about the people who we wouldn’t normally come into contact with, people we don’t know, or people who we have lost normal contact with, this is people who should stay in constant contact with us.

Thanks for listening and I am planning on starting up blogging on a regular basis.

katieleckie.com

It is the end of an era.

I purchased the domain “themindofkatie.com” when TJ was about 7 months old. I had been blogging regularly and thought it was time to make the plunge and buy the domain. I bought this particular name because this is what I called my site so it was an easy pick. After a year or so I thought back that I should have purchased katieleckie.com so I would be easier to remember, more versatile, and my name instead of a theme.

Well this year Google was trying to automatically renew the site and my debit card had expired and with everything going on I updated it but it was too late and my “themindofkatie.com” had been purchased by someone else. I was kinda sad but I went ahead and purchased katieleckie.com.

I’m hoping this doesn’t completely mess up my audience and they can’t find me but I’ll survive and maybe they all will find me again.

Spread the word and change your RSS readers. New site is http://www.katieleckie.com/

New Blogger

New official blogger.

My dad has done a little blogging on his two sites:
www.txapn.org
and
www.pophop.org

but he thought it was time to get it started officially and created a site where he could talk about his travels, his family, and just revelations he has. It's going to be good so go check it out.

Enjoy!!!

It's Been a Good Year

I got a notice that I have had my URL a year. My very own URL. I was so excited last year when I picked it out and purchased it. I would blog all the time, partly because I had a new baby that was only a few months old that needed to be talked about ALL the time. Recently I have been trying to find other topics about our life other than TJ.

We have spent a lot of time working on our house and I felt that I have learned enough to talk about my experiences and have also felt drawn to speak about just life in general and how certain life experiences affect me.

Just wanted to take a moment to wish myself and my blog URL a Happy Anniversary!

Hope to see you all here this coming year and I’m excited to see what all I have to say this year.

It has indeed been a good year!

What to Write?

I feel like I have sooo much to say but can't seem to find one specific thing to talk about. So many things have happened to me and been on my mind. I even started this post with talking about decisions. Obviously I can't even find the words to right in a blog about choices. I sit here with such a desire to write but can't write. I guess that's what you call writers-block.
You know I love where our life is right now. I love my Timothys, I love my family and friends, and I love my house. Church has been great. My dad has been teaching on redemptive gifts. Tim and I are really finding who we are as in our gifts that the Lord has given us.
I look at my days that go by and see who I am becoming. I wonder how I got here and if I would have made one slightly different choice how it would have changed my life forever. I always think if I did do this or didn't do that would I have still gotten married and would I be the mother of TJ? And my answer is yes. One of the reasons God put me on tis earth was to be the wife of Timothy and the mother of Timothy Jr. I can't think of what I have to get out of this life and what I want but what can I do for the people God has put around me. If that's changing a diaper or running back to the store to get Dr. Peppers.

I know I really haven't said anything profound or even something worth making a title of this post. But I wanted to write and I needed to write.

I think I'm going to call it quits on this. I promise I'll get a topic before I start the next post.

Have a lovely evening and a fabulous week!

Little Bit of Some Blog Silence

Sorry about being quiet. An no, this picture doesn't have anything to do with my blog but I thought it was really cool.

Its been a pretty busy and crazy last couple of weeks. It started out with last Sunday. TJ had a fever, for no reason. It was pretty high and I didn't know where it was coming from. Since he wouldn't eat lunch after church I thought it was because he was teething. After a few days of up and down fever I called the doctor. The one thing that concerned them was that he didn't have any other symptoms. Well it turns out that the Dr. diagnosed that TJ has Roseola, I never saw a rash. But the Dr said that he may or may not get the rash.

Monday was my brother's golden birthday. Happy birthday Josh! Wish we could have been with him but we'll have a big party when we see them this summer.

I started this blog last weekend and I can't even remember why last week was so busy. This week I found out that TJ's bed has been recalled so this week we have been working on getting that taken care of. The bed is apart and the bolts have been mailed with all the other necessary paperwork to get a voucher for a new bed. Hopefully in about a week we'll be getting a new bed. It was really weird last night taking the bed apart that we had gotten for him. Well and now his room just looks off without his bed in there.
This week was NOT a good week relationally at work. But after some serious quiet time with The Lord I had a decent day today. I've just decided I can't do it on my own and I'm gonna be happy even if they don't like it.

I finished up my last class of School of Spiritual Warfare last week and we were suppose to have our last class with Beverly McIntyre yesterday but she got stuck in San Antonio and couldn't make it in time for the class. My dad has another class coming up this summer where we will go through the redemptive gifts and I KNOW it will be an awesome class. I just haven't decided if I'm going to attend. We are learning this in church right now and I just may want to go into it deeper in the class.

TJ is growing like a weed and of course changes daily. He got his 7th and 8th tooth in this last week. His top eye teeth.

Tim is really into cycling right now and out riding as I type. He is going on a 40 mile ride tomorrow and next weekend he will be in a 60 or 65 mile race. SO proud of him and he is even getting Amy into riding. I've gone a few rides its not as exciting for me. That probably has something to do with not having a fancy shamancy road bike and having a 25 pound kid on the back wobbling around. HAHA

I know this was a bunch of random information but its all I got right now. I really have some things that I want to get out but I'll save that for another day. I have things that are burning in my spirit that I want to write. Oh yeah! I didn't tell you, I got prophesied over that I would be a writter. That I would teach, draw pictures, prophecy and so on with my writings. SO COOL!

 

Here is TJ and his girl Lex on Easter weekend. I know its a little old but wanted to share a picture of him. 

Catching Up

I was slightly annoyed with my blogs being on two different sites. SOOO this week I have been working on getting all my MySpace blogs put onto themindofkaite.com. Some of my readers have the posts automatically emailed to them and I thought I had the email updates turned off and after about 7-9 posts I hear Tim yell from the other room” Katie, What are you doing why am I getting all these old blogs!!!” Oops. After turning that off I proceeded to post the rest of the blogs. It was about 45 of them and some of the pictures on them are messed up. I am trying to get that fixed. Some of the ones I just put on I put back in draft mode so I can fix the pictures. Lots of the blogs are from while I was pregnant and I have been gathering my belly shots from the days I posted the blogs. It will make them a little more fun so you can see how big I was when I wrote them.

Needless to say all my blogs will soon be on http://www.themindofkatie.com/ and people won’t have to have a MySpace to see them.
