Finally - a blog!

Yes, the day has at last come that I'm opening my mind up to a blog - meaning, you get to hear all that is in my mind.  You will most likely get a mouthful of motherhood as this is what fills my days and my heart.  I love my husband.  I love my kids.  And I love the Lord.  When I keep these loves alive, I am happy.

So here are my latest thoughts... I was reading in the Bible a little while ago about how Christ had power to give His life; it was not taken from Him.  He was not killed.  Rather, He offered His life.  Jesus Christ chose to give His life.  I also choose to give mine as a mother.  I am not forced to.  Even at 3am, when Nathan cries, it my choice to give myself to him.  And I choose to.  Choosing to give my life is more powerful evidence of my love for my children than if they were "taking" my life. 

I love this scripture: "He who seeketh to save his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."  (Matthew 10:39)
