Being content...
You know, I just get so confused about cherishing what I have verses what I want. God has undoubtedly blessed me beyond what I am deserving of (that's a given). However, can you fully appreciate and be content with what you have if you still want something more? This argument could go for just about anything but for me, at this time, it's about a house. I remember when we first moved into this home, we would just lay in bed talking about how cool and unbelievable it was that we actually owned this house. I still feel that way to an extent but I want more room and I think we could do it but... We don't NEED it. So, what is that? Well, in studying Timothy chapter 6 I find that there is still a fine line but, it is pretty clear. Be obedient to God's call, He will provide all things for my enjoyment and He will be faithful to me (a very BAD paraphrase). Anyway what I got was this... I need to think less on more and more on God, He will provide all things and the calling to them. So I wait or learn to wait for his coming call.

Why a blog...
I love to talk so writing should come naturally right?... So I chose a blog to come out in. I want to try my hand and stretch a little by putting my thoughts out there for whoever wants to see and let (what I hope is) nature take place.
A little about me... well, first this isn't a sex, drug or fetish thing so if that is what cranks your boat skip this and move on.
I focus most of my writing on prayers and encouragement OR maybe something that has struck me as profound.
So, me... I am in my late thirties, married to a wonderful husband for almost 16 years and we have three children together. I have spent the last 15 years pouring into my kids and now little by little I am going to pour back into my self. Writing just makes me feel good so now, I am going to take time to do it.
Just visiting a few web sites today made me think: why do we (I) let fear into our possible success? Why don't more of us just put ourselves out there and see what happens? For me, it's because I am so scared that God might bless me more and I will lose my focus and perspective... I guess at times I feel like I am barley holding on to what I have and if anything shakes me up then I will lose it all. Isn't that crazy? I can see it but, that doesn't change my feelings or fear. Just something in my head crying out for prayer...
If in reading this you would like me to pray for you, you need to know that I pray to my Father God in Heaven in the name of Jesus Christ because Jesus died for me (and you too). If you do not agree with me that is OK, just don't bother posting a nasty message because I am firmly founded in my faith. You can be too, I don't want to offend anyone. I'm just here to see what happens.
Anyway, I would love to pray for you I will do so mostly at night but will make a commitment to do so if asked.
That makes day 1, have a blessed night!
