The Beginning

A few months ago, in anticipation of some major changes in our lives, I created a list.  It's a sort of "bucket-list," although probably nothing on it is terribly adventurous or amazing to anyone but me.  It's simple things I want to do "some day," like learning to sew, and scrapbooking, and yes-you guessed it-starting my own blog. It's something I've actually thought about for several years and just never put the time into figuring out how to do.  -That and the fact that my husband is the writer/speaker in our family and I  figured I don't really have much to share that anyone else would want to read.  But, I've decided to let 2011 be a year for doing things instead of wishing for life to change "one day."  I want it to be a year of "blooming where I'm planted" instead of always wanting circumstances to change.  So, here you go...

I don't promise to blog every day or say anything profound... I just promise to try to be honest, to share what's on my mind and in my heart.  I'm constantly, often painfully, being shaped and changed by God.  He takes all of my broken pieces and somehow makes it into a vessel only He can use.  Hopefully, you will see some of those changes as this blog progresses.  I know you will see the cracks and chips and other imperfections.
