My intent...

My intent in starting this blog is to repent of my journal writing or lack thereof since having my children. I wrote in my journal everyday from the time I was 12 until I got pregnant with my first child; I quit because I didn't want to complain about how sick I felt everyday. But, I hope to catch up by recording some of my thoughts and opinions for my children and others to find whenever! I will never forget sitting at Thanksgiving dinner one year; my parents were playfully arguing the details of some family story. My sister corrected them, and they challenged her knowledge with, "how would you know?" She countered, "I read mom's journal!" My mom was incredulous, because she had thrown it away years previous. Turns out my dad had dug it out of the trash and put it on the bookshelf.

I also want to make my dad proud. He is a wonderful example of sharing his testimony to help people come closer to Jesus Christ. I want to be like him, but mostly I want my children to come closer to Christ!
