Starting again

Okay, I know I've said this before, but this time it's for sure.  I'm going to start blogging!  (soft chuckle, 'cause who really knows if I'll keep it up?)

Some of my friends have fabulous food blogs.  Some of my friends review books a lot.  Other talk about their kids & projects ... as you know, if you know me at all, I'm pretty eclectic and kind of bouncy.  I don't stick to anything for very long (which has caused me to wonder if I have ADD, but I'm pretty sure I don't.  I think it is lack of discipline -- self-discipline -- on my part.), so this blog will not be one thing. 

I am a wife, a mom, a homeschooler, a Christian, a scrapbooker, a cook, a baker, a reader, and a thinker.  I am many other things, too, that are not so easily defined.  Right now, God has been calling me to be faithful in what He has given me to do - to be the best wife, mom, homeschooler, church worker, etc. that I can be.  In essence, He has told me to "bloom where I'm planted". 

Sometimes this blog is an outlet for my emotions which are hard for me to define.  I've been through a lot in life, although not as much as some.  Still, I can see God's hand shaping me, drawing me closer to Him.  And that is the purpose of my life - to glorify God & enjoy Him forever.  To draw ever closer to Him, and be transformed by Him. 

So, let's get this journey started!  Allons-y (I've been dying to say that!)

It worked!!

It has been a long time since I've been able to log into my blog. Somehow with the whole change-over from my old blog to this one, the computer forgot who I was, and I had to remember which email address I used & which password, etc. Needless to say, I'm glad to see I can log in again!

God is faithful. He continues teaching me how to have joy. I'm learning that joy comes not from what's going on around me, but rather who I am in Christ. Thankfully He hasn't given up on me!

Glad to be able to blog again. Will post more later. :)
