Here We go....

I've been wanting to chronicle the amazing life that God has given to me, but whenever I sat down to write in a paper journal I was always too scared to ruin the beautiful blank pages. (I have a slight addiction to paper products, in particular hardcover journals!) What if I didn't follow through on writing? What if I started with a theme or format and didn't continue? What if I messed up and then wanted to start over, but couldn't without ripping pages out - which would of course mess up the binding.....

So, I decided that digital was the way to go...

But then it seemed random to just begin one day... shouldn't there be some sort of inspiration or event that triggered this desire?

Well, now inspired by my Aunt Erin who asked if I was going to write about my experiences with our SOON-TO-BE-HERE son, I'm, starting!

I hope to reflect on the events of my life as a wife, mother, and teacher. I don't want to limit the topics or set up an unrealistic expectations. Rather, I want to be open to what I feel called to share each time I can. I'm not going to say that I'll write everyday or anything - I don't know what the future holds! However, I hope that through the act of writing itself, and sometimes reading my own reflections, that I can come to know, love, and serve God, my husband, and children better.

Wish me luck - I can't wait to see what the future holds!
