Hello Blog

Ok so it's been a whole month, Yikes. Soren is one, I am now 27, my parents came to visit for one glorious week, Brian got a job..What a month!!!!
Let's face it, this blog is just NOT a priority for me. I used to have grand ideas for this blog.
Let me back up.
When I first started it a wise woman said that she did not trust herself to blog, she felt it was too much freedom and it would feed her pride. Well, I tucked that away, started my blog, mostly with the intention of relieving all my pent up opinions about anything and everything, cause what better place to do it? But each time I go to write about some topic, well, it just doesn't feel right. It feels exactly like getting up on my high horse about something, and in a way, feeding my pride. And frankly I have come across and read enough blogs by women who use them to air all their opinions, and it just gets old I am sorry to say. I don't think we as women know how much blogs have been used of satan to bring such discourse and discontentment into homes and families.
All that being said, I do love reading the blogs of women who are just sharing about their everyday lives and journeys and adding pictures and occasionally explaining why they live a certain way. I would like to do this with my blog, have it be my new vision. The reality is though, it's just not a priority for me. I would rather read, or clean (weird I know) or talk on the phone or be out, or make cards, then sit at the computer. Hence I have never finished all these photo books I keep starting. :)
Anyway, I just wanted to put that out there. I will try and blog when the spirit moves (haha) and in the meantime I will enjoy learning and being inspired by all the lovely ladies that are just sharing their journey and their pictures. :)

So here is a picture of my now one year old...


Also we are rejoicing for God's provision of a job. We have learned a lot this summer about how little we are in control, and God opened the doors he wanted to, in His timing, and we are thankful. Now it is just adjusting to change, and why I thought my husbands jobs would affect us so little I don't know, but they do affect our life and routine a lot and change is not our strong suit in this family. I am proud of my hubby, for seeking and waiting on the Lord, and not rushing into something just for money's sake. We tell people that loosing his job has been one of the best things that ever happened to our marriage and I have to say that we are the closest we have ever been in 5 1/2yrs of marriage. So thankful for that man and I don't say it enough.
And that's all for now. :)
