Friends! I want to let you know that I loved keeping you all updated on sweet Maggie's progress while she was fighting for her life inside the womb. I enjoyed sharing my heart with you during the good times and the bad. I loved being real and honest with you and receiving heart-felt prayers and encouragement. It gave me so much joy when you all celebrated her miraculous birth and health with me. And I still love occasionally sharing pictures and videos of my beautiful, precious little girl.
But now I want to get real with you again. I have 3 kids (5, 3 and 1), we are in the middle of our second year of homeschooling, and my husband is starting a new job as an airline pilot. Life right now is amazing, crazy, exciting, difficult, fun, stressful, joyful, overwhelming, humorous and exhausting. In order to survive this crazy-amazing life we have, I have to continually remember to give each day to God and let Him lead me safely through it. And MAN do I mess up. A lot. All the time. I mean, thank GOD for grace!!!
I want to share the good, the bad and the ungly with you. Life is so much easier when we walk through it with other people. Like with people who have walked through something tough, made it out alive, and can now help us through. With people who are experiencing something difficult that we have already survived and now we can be there for them. And with people who are celebrating a victory in their life and we have the privilege to join the celebration! I want you to know that you aren't alone in your joys or struggles.
Very soon I will be renaming this blog to match my shift in topic. I hope to start writing on a regular basis about life with little ones, homeschooling, and The One who sees us through it all. I hope you will continue to take this blogging journey with me that we started together during one of the most difficult and joyful times of my life.
Last thing: I need your help. I am taking suggestions for a new blog name. What ideas do you have for me? Please post your ideas in the comments. I will let you all know as soon as I make my choice!
