The beginning...

I got the idea of blogging while on a trip last year with a good friend. We were on the plane coming back from Paris. I had just read the book "Julie & Julia" and was inspired by the author's challenge for herself, to try all of Julia Child's recipes from her french cookbook in one year and than blog about it.

I thought to myself, "I could blog, I have tons of stories to tell!" But than I thought, "who would want to read them?" So, I dropped the idea. But it came back to me again and again. After about 6 months, I mentioned it to my husband. Talking with him about it, made it seem like an important thing for me to do. So, being the wonderful husband that he is, he set me up with my very own blog page. Thank you honey!

My goal with this blog is to be encouraging, thought provoking and honest. I want to share about my life, my relationship with God, my family and ministry testimonies. I desire to be real about my ups and downs, my victories and struggles. Mostly I want to be a blessing to others who need a little push, a word of encouragement or a good cry.

I hope you will enjoy my entries. God bless you for taking time out of your busy life to read a little about mine.
