But I truly do miss being on the platform, talking with subscribers, watching videos in my free time, and creating helpful content for those looking to make intentional tech purchases.
Luckily, I do have a good amount of sponsored videos lined up for my return and I can't wait to release them into the wild.
BUT
This really has shown me how much of a hold YouTube has on my life and is encouraging me to tread lightly with this passion.
I hope I can place new restraints and limits on my usage both physically and in my mind space when I return to the platform.
God is most important, followed by family, friends, and work. Then comes fun little personal projects like YouTube.
So, as always, I need to keep that list right-side up.
I am thankful and excited to continue creating and making a little extra cash for the family bank account via YouTube.
So, here is to a renewed outlook on a passion. Lent is good. God is good.
Today I stayed home with Lina. She was up last night puking and into the morning. I didn't take off work, I just watched her closely and kept email and Slack open in case anyone needed to reach me.
It was a bonding day for us. We barely did more than sit on the couch and watch tv but I loved being with her and talking with her and after nap we went on a little walk to the park.
Maria is having a really hard time with her anxiety with all that has been going on but we are hanging in there and leaning into the Lord more and more.
I played Death Stranding more during Lina's nap and I am really really enjoying the game it is just the right amount of relaxing and stressful and I have really just started. The story is so intriguing.
I hope both kiddos can make it to school tomorrow and make it through. I find it highly unlikely that I don't also get this stomach bug. I ALWAYS get what the kids bring home. It sucks but it is what it is and God is good, always.
