My First Blog Post

Hi, Anyone that comes to my blog. This is my first Blog posting experience. I don't know if anyone will be interested in the chronicles of a stay at home mom, but I will try to make it as interesting as possible. Today I went to a Women's Ministry event at Severn's Valley Baptist Church and listened to a few speakers. The speakers were really good. One of them showed us how simple it is to create a blog, so here I am. I don't really have a specific purpose, but maybe I'll just start throwing out some of the thoughts that come into my head. This could be scary. The thought that has been going through my head a lot lately is man, life is hard, I just don't know how we do it day, after day. I'm just being honest, sometimes I don't know if I'm going to make it. I always do, and I know it's only because God will never give me more than I can handle. He is so good to pick me up and give me a little nudge in the right direction. I look around and see people with real struggles and it pains me that I am so weak. I saw a guy I used to go to school with at Denny's tonight and I asked him how he'd been. He gave a very non-convincing "I've been OK", then he said he had just gotten back from a round in Iraq. It was just him and his son, I wondered if he was married, I wondered what his life was really like? After he walked away, I wished I'd have asked more questions, and told him about my church, been a little more concerned. I don't want to blow these chances time after time. I want to get past myself and my silly worries and be ready when chances like this come a long. If you do read this, and you know me, hold me accountable to this. I know I miss opportunity's all the time. It's not easy to get out of my comfort zone, but I don't think God is going to leave me alone until I step out. I hope someone reads this even if it's just my sister because I've e-mail her and told her she has to!

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20.

Hope you are having a blessed day.
