Another Resignation

There once was a gal who resigned.
She thanks y'a'll for being so kind
As to read what she thinks and to follow her links.
But to continue, she is disinclined

I'm resigning from Intellectuelle for a few reasons.

1) I'm pregnant, and sick. It's hard to be intellectual when your brain is in your stomach.

2) Really, even the best of my writing is not intellectual. I love discussions, debates and lectures of an intellectual nature, but that does not translate into being that kind of writer. I want to move aside and make room for some more scholarly ladies to move in.

3) I have a lot of work that needs doing on my own character, and continuing to write for Intellectuelle would hinder that. I need to finally learn that I find my worth in Christ, and not in the number of comments I receive on a blog entry, or in producing art or zines, or (insert your worldly identity marker here). No, I'm not giving up zines, art and my other blog also, but I don't have an assigned day for those!

There is also much I need to learn in the way of contentment in my primary role of wife and mother, and stressing about whether I can scrounge something thoughtful out of my brain once a week is not helpful in that.

I hope that Intellectuelle will continue and prosper. Blessings upon all those who read and write here. May your thoughts and words always bring glory to God.

Samantha, from one ex-pat to another, here's to a job well done...and a hearty amen to each of your points! (i.e. I can relate) Imagine how embarrassing it is to not only be part of such a blog but to be the creator of it and THEN realize I'm not so intellectual after all either =\ ...actually, I think it's not so much that (at least not when considering the true definition of intellectual), but rather I'm not very knowledgeable about theology (this blog leans decidely that way which I had no idea would happen), and like you, I haven't the mental fortitude right now to post apologetics.

Of course, I knew you were leaving (I say that for the sake of readers who might think you surprised us!), but I want to say again that I enjoyed reading your posts and interacting with you. I'll continue to enjoy your personal blog and hope to see you around here from time to time. Blessings on the new little one!
