Everyone has a blog now!! I haven't even known what a "blog" was for very long. I will be honest and just say that i am in the midst of a hard season of my life right now and can barely check phone messages, nonetheless, my friend's blogs. I really did not see the purpose for me to have a blog. And then, it suddenly hit me what it would mean to me and I have decided I must do this. I would like to blog for the purpose of recording my journey through life, the ups and downs, the great celebrations, and of course all the blessings! I want to record this information for my children and especially my daughter Lauren. The information is all intended for my son, Landon, also but he will walk a much different journey than I because he will be a father and the head of his household. I want to share with my children what an honor and privilege it is being their mother and the greatest gift the Lord has given me. I want them to know how wonderful it is to be their mother but also to see that I am by no means perfect and my life wasn't without trials. I hope they can see my accomplishments and successes with parenting and life and model those for their own families. I also want them to see the times I failed and learn from those times also. Being a parent is so overwhelming and I would love to share with them how I am making it through and really my Journey through life. I was touched by our sermon and Sunday School lesson this week about being a legacy and what will my legacy be for my children. I pray that my legacy will extend past any material items I leave them to a life of joy and trust in the Lord that will be non-ending stream that extends through the generations of our family until the Lord comes again. May my legacy be one that represents the true purpose that God has put us on the Earth for and may our family share with a world that so despirately needs the light of Christ. MAY THIS BEGIN THE JOURNEY OF MY LEGACY....................
