I'm Christy, wife of a handsome bearded man and mother to a beautiful 8 month old girl. I'm new to blogging. So new in fact that this is my first post. Why start now? Well, I've found that becoming a mother comes with learning a lot about my deficiencies and about how much I need God. I wanted a place to jot down what I learn and maybe it could be helpful or entertaining to other mothers out there. The other reason I wanted to start blogging is a friend of mine explained her blog as a modern day scrapbook for her family and I loved that idea! With that said, my blogs will mostly contain lessons I'm learning about how God is using being a mother and wife to make me a better person and also a bunch of pictures of my daughter, Jane and what she is up to. I also want my blog to be encouraging. I strive to be a realistic optimist. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but what I mean is I want to be as honest and transparent as possible while staying positive and joyful. So if that piques your interest, by all means come along for the ride. It might be a little bumpy since I'm new at this, but it should be fun! I will leave you with a couple of Bible verses I try to live by.
Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
