Why I Blog

I wanted to tell you why I blog. Obviously my posts are scattered here and there and arrive on the blog with much time between posts. I've discovered there are a lot of bloggers out there in cyberspace. And when I started I really questioned whether one more was needed. But I wanted to blog for some very special reasons. I am not a special person, I am a wife and mother of six who is finding her way through this crazy life. I enjoy reading the blogs I subscribe to on a daily basis. I am amazed at the women who find time to sit down and blog each day. I'm uplifted by their comments and the Godly wisdom that I read on a regular basis. But I knew that kind of blogging was not for me. I wanted first and foremost to be the mother to my children, and the wife to my husband. I often find myself wanting to make a blog post, but realizing that I am caught up in the middle of what is happening that I'd like to blog about, that I have no time to write about it. Then there are other times when I have the time to write but the words won't come to form something worth reading! And so I trudge through this wonderful world of raising children and figuring things out… And hope in the end it all comes together for me. I started blogging for a few reasons; I wanted a record of sort to look back on my journey through life.  I wanted to see how I've grown as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and child of the King. I wanted to have a written memory for my family. I know that one day I won't be as busy, that little feet won't be running around underfoot, and grubby faces won't need to be scrubbed.  Then there will be time to blog.  So for now I will continue as I am able, but know this; it is not lack of desire that the posts don't  cone often.... It is just that I am busy about the work I have been called by Him to do in this season if life!

Looking Ahead
