Hello, welcome to my blog. I have been feeling a need, or maybe a calling to share with you - whoever out there may be hurting, or fearful, or anxious. I have been there too. I still am there sometimes. But I do find moments of hope and I have days of love and beauty. I am also still nervous about sharing, fearing judgement by a few, I guess. But I have such a deep longing to share my heart, that I can't hold back anymore.


I was wondering what to call this blog when I found this in my writings... Tell me if you see the similarities in these two excerpts:
2012
The most important thing I have learned this year is that God is with me.  Always.  In my darkest hour.  He is there.  He doesn't always "make everything better" but He "never leaves me nor forsakes me".
2015
I feel like God is answering my prayers. He is making me wiser, stronger, more peaceful in stressful situations, and He is showing me how to love people, people who are in pain, people who are broken, people in the hospital. Now I understand. Now I am no longer an onlooker from the sidelines. He is also teaching me to love Him no matter what my circumstances are. To love Him in good times and bad times. To love Him because He was with me in my darkest hour.


A little introduction, in case you don't already know me.... I'm a 31 year old wife and mother. I've been married almost 10 years and I have 3 children, 7,5 & 2 years old. I was saved when I was 6 or 7 and God has always been the most important part of my life.
I am not a perfect person. My personality is full of flaws. My life is full of flaws. The last thing I want this blog to be is another picture of perfect life.... Scrubbed clean.... For everyone to envy and ooh and aah over. I just want to share the truth, in hopes that someone else will realize that they are not alone. Life is not easy. There are difficult times. Some difficulties last a few moments, some last a lifetime. I hope that you are blessed and encouraged by my writings.
