First off...

  I sit and look at this very white and brand new blog spot.  I know that everyone has to start somewhere and sometimes its the hardest to gather your thoughts and really get started.  Once you get going you can gain momentum. Every "new thing" has challenges.  Every "new thing" has an element of excitement.  Every "new thing" takes time to get used to.  Every "new thing" has a purpose.  Something to teach us.  Discipline? Patience? Perseverance? 
  I am not blogging to inspire.  I am not blogging to gain hundreds of followers.  I am blogging simply so that I can put down on paper, well put out in cyber space, things that God is doing in my/our life.  Things that God is speaking to me about. So that I can look back and say, yes look where he has brought me.  If inspiration comes, great! If there are people that want to follow, that's great to.  
  I don't claim to be a great writer. I'm not someone that always uses "real words".  Honestly I might just add "est" to the end of another word and call it a day.  I like to laugh and I like to see others laugh. I enjoy getting to know new people.  To walk with them and connect in a non-superficial way.  I feel like when we walk with Jesus by our side we can share that with others.  Our life, happy, sad, frustrating, or other can encourage others.  To hear that someone has been through something similar to you can give you hope that there is an "end" to each trial.  Or to know that someone that seem to have it all, also goes through trials, can just make you feel a little more "normal".  
  I can be opinionated. I may sound harsh, I may say things that not every one will agree with.  All I have to say to that is. If you don't agree, pray about it.  If God isn't saying the same thing to you, that's OK.  But maybe, just maybe, I can sharpen you and you in return can sharpen me, or the other way around.  
  And Finally, my children, and I may be just a bit bias here, are very funny.  They say and do things that are stinkin funny and cute.  So if nothing else I am going to post fun tid bits of life at our house.  Cause not every lesson that we learn has to be super serious but can come from the mouths of our babes :)  Cause didn't Jesus call us all to be like children?
