welcome

Since becoming a stay-at-home mom in 2002, I have developed a desire to write and through my writing to encourage others. Realizing that I'm more of a jack-of-all trades kinda girl, rather than a master of anything in particular (although my graduate degree says otherwise), I had a tough time deciding what I would write about (and yep, I just ended a sentence with a preposition). Then, I was introduced to "blogging" and I discovered that I could write about absolutely anything!

My goal , however, is not merely to write, but to write with a purpose -to encourage, to inform, to inspire, to motivate. . .so that all my know Him. Who is "Him", you ask? Him is Jesus, the Son of God, the Christ, the Messiah, the Savior of the World! As one who has personally accepted His free gift of salvation (as a result of Him dying on the cross for my sins), my life is dedicated to glorifying God in all that I do. In Colossians 3:17 of the Holy Bible, it reads, "And whatever you do in world or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God, the Father through Him (NKJV)". So, I may write about something I have learned through personal experience (as a mom of a 6-year old and a 4-year old, I'm always learning something new). I may write about a book I have read, a movie I have seen, or just whatever pops into my head on a given day. Maybe by reading this blog, you will be introduced to Jesus or maybe you already have a personal relationship with Jesus as your Savior and Lord of your life and in need of a little inspiration. Whatever the case, my hope is that He would be glorified and you would be encouraged. I hope you will check in from time to time.
