Well hello there...............
I write, I read, I pray, I play, I laugh, I cook, I bake, I shoot, I edit, I raise, I bathe, I chauffeur, I teach, I lead, I coach.
I am a daughter to the King. I praise him for everything in our lives, even the bumps in the road of life. For everything we experience is immersed in Grace. It is dripping with grace and love. God's grace and love. I have questioned. I have worried, I am a sinner. I am saved by his merciful grace and his Resurrection gave life to me and to you.
I am a wife. After being married previously I had a very skewed view on love and marriage. I believed the words put into my head for 11 years and yet again God provided me with grace for that too. Though he never wants us to break our covenant of marriage, the free will he gives opened doors in our life and although divorce was not what I wanted, God gave me grace and life through that divorce. I found myself. I have learned the strength inside of me all along. I met an amazing man who in all my faults loves me with all of his being. And even though I brought children into our relationship, he has loved them and taken care of them like there was no other Dad in the picture. Being cherished was hard for me. But all along the way I am seeing what a perfect picture of our Father's love and guidance.
I am a mother. I always wanted 5 children. I was blessed to birth 4 of my own and blessed again to be chosen to love 2 more that were born in my heart. While 6 is a big number, it works. Our children are friends and play and love so well, that too is a blessing and full of God's favor and grace. We are praying that our family will be connected one day by the birth of a child together. We do not know if it is God's will or our own. I am praying for discernment in learning if it is a desire of my own heart or God's will for our family.
I assure you though this life is messy. While the words I like to use to describe my family paint a pretty picture; we sin daily. We fall short daily. We cry. We have tifs. We have time outs and groundings. But inside these walls, we love and care for each other, we teach and take time to show our children and those around us the goodness of our Savior. I humbly pray that this mode of writing brings God glory and me peace. I love sharing and doing for others and I hope to write about those things here!
What a mighty God we serve.
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
