Well, it's official! I'm a blogger! Why did I start this? I honestly don't know. I have always journaled since I was a teen, so it's only natural that I continue technologically as well. What will my blog be about? It'll be some about my family and the joys and trials of homeschooling. Some about myself and the fact that I am an unhappy overweight person. Wow, did I just say that out loud. Aren't we as good southern christian women supposed to keep all that in? Put on the perfect facade, nothing is ever wrong. Well there you go people, it's all out now! :) A lot of my blog will be about God. I would be nowhere without him! Even in my lowest moments, God has always been there. I would be nothing with out him.
Can you have peace within and be miserable on the outside? I think you can. Since I started staying home with my children and homeschooling, I have seen God's love and mercy like never before. But I have also lost myself in the process. When you give your all to your children and husband and forget to take care of yourself, the end result is not pretty. So with the help of the Lord and my family, I want to embark on a journey back to myself. What makes me... well, me?
Is my identity all about being a homeschooling wife? Is that the sum of my existence? I know that God has given me a heart to be exactly where I am today, but I used to have hobbies that have fallen by the wayside. Where is the time? I used to take care of myself, I used to care how I looked, now Sunday is the only day I care about how I look. I hope that by getting my thoughts down on paper, or well, on computer, that I can once again reclaim some of myself that I feel has fell by the wayside. Wish me luck!
