Thanks for joining me!
There’s a first for everything……right? There has to be a song with that line in it.. Well anyway this is my first entry in my first blog. I’ll get the introductions done first.
I’m a 43 year old mother to three boys and I’ve been married to my awesome husband for almost 24 years. My oldest son 25 and is married to a beautiful woman who I adore. My middle son is 21 and a senior in college and is about to leave on a sports ministry trip, and my youngest….oh my youngest…he is 18 and about to graduate from high school and I’m glad we survived, oh I mean I’m glad he survived! I’ll fill you in on each of my sons as this blog continues. After all I have to give you reasons to come back.
Here’s why is started this blog, the last 4 years I’ve changed due to a health issue that was a mystery to everyone. My boys are all older and my husband and I find ourselves facing the empty nest stage. I cry. I cry a lot. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life, I have an amazing family, two wonderful golden retrievers, and my health issues are being solved, but as I mentioned above I am 43, I am a woman, and so I cry. I simply needed a way I could write my feelings down and hopefully along the way through this blog help someone going through the many things I am going through.
Now here is the foundation of my life. I’m a lover of Christ. He’s my all in all and the reason I have not collapsed in a heap of mess. My relationship with him continues to grow through these trials I face. If I’m being honest its only been recently that I’ve started to feel thankful for these trials. That’s how God works, he takes us from anger and fear to thankfulness. Now I still have moments of fear, I’m human, but I know where to turn in those times.
Well that was my first entry! I hope I didn’t bore you! Until tomorrow, have good nights all!
