what does my blog mean to me??

You know it is so easy to get sucked into the blogging world. You look at some of these VERY large blogs, and you think boy I would like to be that big.

Geez I sure would like to have as many followers/ readers as she has.

I think back, or even look back at the beginning, why did I start blogging? My motivation was not for others, but for me. My motivation was for a place to share a piece of myself, my heart, my prayers, my life… It was never to get a lot of followers or to be considered some profound blogger. NO- it was to leave a legacy of myself to my children. My words for them to read on every situation, or occasion in my life/ our lives. In hopes that every word, they see Christ emulating forth.

It is so easy in the “world of blogging” to lose our focus on what it is we are doing, and why we are doing it… but for me it is not to bring people flocking to my blog. For me it is to be me.. for me to share what I love, My Lord Jesus, my beloved and my absolutely wonderful children. What more could I really want??

 

For those of you are faithful- thank you for your words of encouragement, for your prayers and for those of you who are new.. well I do hope you find my heart here.

Ok- that was on my heart…

My sister is coming this week.. the children are so excited. I am excited of course to see my sister. I sure do miss her and those girls of hers. They arrive by the end of this week and already she is planning a fun filled week for the kids. For Honor’s birthday the are going black light miniature golfing.. will share photos, and Monday we are going to the zoo.. I love the zoo.

In the meantime, the reason you have not heard from is because I have been diligently working on Honor’s birthday present. Her quilt. It is a lot of work, but I have the face done, now on to the border, and sandwiching it together.( I will post the finished results)

Hope to hear from all of you out there!

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
