Jumping In

Okay, so this is it, my first blog post! I am excited, but just because I love to write, doesn’t really mean anyone will want to read what I write. I know, I know, but really, why does anyone start a blog?  Anywho, I have been thinking about blogging for what feels like forever and decided now was the right time to jump in!
The Lord has been doing some important things in my life these days and my main purpose for this blog is to make a record of what He is doing. I am sure from time to time I will share a recipe or a thrifty idea I have found but more than that I hope to show anyone who cares to read that God is real and loves to work in the lives of His children.
We are headed for some changes in our family and I am really excited to see how the Lord is going to provide and take care of us. I will write more about this in my next post, but let’s just suffice it to say, I serve a very BIG God and am so blessed to be HIS!
Hebrews 11:1
"Now FAITH is the substance OF things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

    Welcome to blogging! I've been blogging since 2009, and I can tell you it's great! I have two blogs, and I find it's a great way to help spread God's love and encouragement to others. I've received countless e-mails and comments from people who were touched or moved by something they read. Some days I stare at the empty screen and don't have a clue what to write, but God always provides a message. Sometimes it's long; other times it's short, but it's always from the heart. I look forward to keeping up with this blog, and congratulations on your leap of faith. I know how hard it is, but as the old saying goes, "Where God guides, God provides."

13 Years?! Seriously?

Today is mine and dear hubby's 13th wedding anniversary! Wow! 13 years is a teenager, right? I can hardly believe I have been married to my Jason for 13 years. I promise not to be too sappy today, but I really wanted to write a little about the wonderful blessing of marriage. Marriage is taken so casually in these days that I fear young couples will not realize the magnitute of making and breaking their vow to God when they say "I do." I am not here to post my opinion on the union of marriage nor paint a flowery picture that is unrealistic. Marriage is tough, some times really tough. But, marriage is also an absolute gift from God and a blessing that words can never describe. As I look back over the last 13 years, I can see how we have grown and changed together. Together is really the key, and you know the only way to really grow together? It is to grow in the Lord together! The closer we are to Him the closer we are to one another. That may sound cliche but I ca...

Learning to Let Go

"Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward." C.S. Lewis  It was a rare Thursday with all three of the kids home, the first since my oldest started college in August. It felt normal, nothing out of the ordinary, just my three children at home where they belonged. They sat at the table together, argued with one another and did a whole host of ordinary things. But for me, for this Momma's heart, it was an extraordinary day. A day where life felt "normal" after many not so normal days.  Isn't that life though? A lot of normal days that one day become extraordinary because they are no more. Homeschooling my three was normal for so many years until one day it wasn't. We just took a trip to the Apple Orchard that made me feel so nostalgic. Why did an ordinary trip to the Apple Orchard make me feel nostalgic? Because I missed what used to be. I missed me and my three kiddos taki...

Fear is a Liar

Lately the nudge to write has grown but I have fought it because I'm not sure what to write. There are things rattling around internally I just don't know which ones to write about. This blog is an outlet for me in so many ways yet I let fear grip me and I stay silent. Fear is a real enemy. Fear can keep us from living, really living.  A situation came up recently where someone I care about said something that hurt. I know it wasn't meant to hurt, but it hurt anyway. Fear kept me silent. Fear kept me from telling this person that their words hurt. Fear brought anxiety. Fear threatened to hurt a strong relationship. I would love to say I eventually confronted this person and told them my heart, but fear won and I have yet to speak the words. Fear has kept me from fighting the insurance company so that I can get the decompression surgery I need. I am afraid of another surgery. Ach, there it is, the truth. I'd rather live in pain then go through another decompression. Fear...
