Today began yet a new chapter in my life.
I am a homeschooling Mom with six kids. Currently our family lives in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio but we are currently packing to move to Seattle, Washington.
This morning my husband left for his new job.
I am now like a military Mom, at the home front with six kids and all the responsibilities. Boxes being packed, appointments to be kept, house to be cleaned, food to be prepared, school to be be done, friends who want to be seen…friends who will be missed.
This is not an easy time in my life, but it's not the first I've moved so far. In fact, this move is the CLOSEST move I've done. However, it is a bigger move than the other times because now I have twice as many kids, 10X more stuff and for the first time, I'm at the mercy of someone buying my house before I'm reunited with my husband again.
It also gave me an empty bedroom and a computer just waiting to be typed on. "That blog - that blog that's been on my mind for all of these years - should I start it now? It might help me cope with things." So here I begin.
I've had many new chapters and as I reflected on my past, I felt led to start writing some of the life lessons I've learned throughout my life that God has lead me through and those current as well. I'm hoping this blog will be an encouragement to help people recognize how God moves in their lives. Since childhood, I've had many "God Lessons" that I had no idea I was learning until later in life. I just felt led to record them, for the glory of God - that He has lead me through this life - and not to the glory of myself or the same of others who have hurt me. I will be as candid and as discreet as I need to be but I pray that the Lord will lead me with the words. My desire is that this blog will glorify him in the end.
