A little Motivation!

Hello there! (cue the parade waive.. ha! )

Let me tell you a little about myself… I have been married to my wonderful husband, for just about 17 years now (that calls for celebration.. !!!) We have 6 amazing children, who surprise me with their wisdom and creativity daily. We love God and wouldn’t know how to do life without Him.

A few years back God had asked me to start writing, now let me tell you I am no expert writer. I have read countless blog posts, columns and many many news articles, in which all had amazing writers, from the professional to the stay at home mom… now lets just say I cant compete with my 5th graders amazing writing and editing skills.. ha! So lets just get that set straight… I am by far anything but an amazing writer ..haha! All that being said one thing I can tell you is that I am obedient to Gods voice and call on my life and that is what has lead me to this blog, its what’s given me the motivation to write. What better way for Gods glory to shine then through my inabilities. Something my bestfriend Ashley( someone you will hear about a lot) and I always say… If I could do it all on my own then what would we need God for? So we celebrate the fact that we need God in every bit of our lives… But let me stop there (I could go on and on.. haha).

I am excited to share my journey with you, or as my husband likes to call it “The Adventure”… through my humanity, through the struggles, through the celebrations. I am so honored that you would come along this writing adventure with me and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions as well.

See you on the blog side!! 😀

P.S. (fast forward 6 years) 

Welp… 

What you just read… I wrote it 6 years ago!. Yup, its been 6 years.. I thank God for showing me grace and being so patient with me and my failing obedience to share my journey with you all. As you read above, God asked me many years ago to write and share my journey with whoever would stop and read, and I failed at that.. For many reasons, possibly a little bit of fear, laziness, procrastination… But mainly I just wouldn’t sit and listen to what God wanted me to say. It’s hard to not overthink everything, what it is God is saying to me, what I feel I should express. Overthinking, overanalyzing, picking apart every word that I’ve written down… so that in itself will discourage me from even attempting to share it with anyone else. But when I have been able to settle my thoughts and get it on paper, I have learned so much through my expression of Gods heart for me and my family.

So here we go again.. This time I hope to just share what is in my heart with whomever would enjoy the read. Say yes to small steps, even if it takes you 10 years!
