Why Do I Blog?

Some people have asked me this question, and as I thought about it, my answer would be that it is a way for me to process my thoughts, my struggles, my victories, and prayers. All my life I have journal ed, I have a whole trunk full of my life experiences, poems, daily logs..I look back to my early 20's, and see the growth, and maturity since then, some of my experiences are pretty hilarious, some pretty painful, and a lot of growing pains. I was reading back in one of my prayer journals that I kept while my daughter was in her prodigal years...it was dated 11-2004, she was only 20 years old, she is now 27...and those months are just some heart-felt prayers, lots of tears and pleading, of learning to trust God..but it was during that time that I learned what it really meant to be on my knees.

Most people don't read my blogs..after all who am I. But at times I will post them on Face book, just in case someone may decide to read them, and it can be an encouragement to someone else. I have always wanted to be a writer, and someday may venture to write a book.

When the whole blogging thing became popular, I thought what fun..I can share with others, and read what others have to say, and be apart of their journey.

These days I'm in a good place in my life. Our family has been healed of a lot of pain, we have survived some "perfect storms", things are peaceful at this present moment and have been for awhile. I went through an intense bible study called "healing hearts," in which God did some major heart surgery in me. I am very grateful for that bible study.

Steve & I are in a place that we want to serve, and have started a ministry called, Neighbors In Need..were hoping to help provide some necessities in this struggling economy in our church neighborhood. It's been fun doing a ministry together..hopefully by the end of June our Church will have collected enough items, that we can invite the neighborhood.

Paco our dog is our new child, and we love him dearly. Ashley is getting married in August. Her and Dee are going to Las Vegas, they have been together for 7 years, and decided that it's time to get married. We pray for them both everyday, for Gods will in their life. She is a beautiful young lady, who has made some remarkable changes in her life...and she loves Jesus with all her heart. I am so proud of the woman that she is becoming...so today life is good!
