Why I hate blogging...and why I'm doing it.

I hate blogging. Can I just say that right off the bat?

I guess when I get down to it, I don't hate it...it just brings out all of my insecurities.

Who, me? Insecure? Never!! Ehh...unless you're talking about how I compare myself to every other mama on the planet because it is ingrained in my DNA as part of the ovary-packin' gender. Or that I'm worried that I will have negative comments made about the life that I work so hard on, and even if I don't know you, my feelings get hurt easily. Or maybe its that I have massive mommy-guilt, worrying that I'll get caught up in blogging and not spend enough time and attention to my family who already miss me 36 hours out of each week while I'm at work.

So why am I doing this crazyness?

Because I need to. For myself, for my family for everyone. So you all can see how this broken sinner loves Jesus so much and how he has forgiven me and is constantly working through His Holy Spirit in this world.

I am not a perfect person, but I try to live out Jesus daily. I fail miserably, but pray that at least one person will see His glory. Not for my benefit but for Him.

He also heals my insecurities and wraps them up in a blanket of acceptance, as a daughter in His kingdom who is loved by the utmost Father.

So read on if you're ready to hear some tall-tales from the life of an overly-paranoid Jesus lovin' mama/pediatric nurse/wife/daughter/sister/friend. Here we go!

New Beginnings.

For a long time I've been super jealous of other people's blogs and how creative and talented they are. Ahem, Lil-Kid-Things, The B Keeps Us Honest, Love Sown, The Joy of Pregnancy and Other Lies, and the list goes on and on and on....

So I've tried my hand at blogging - note, I have nothing to list here because I am a slacker and can't ever seem to keep up with writing. But, there is something very theraputic about writing, so I'm going to try my hand, again.

What I was thinking for this blog is to share a bit of my life with you, which may include some pieces from being a mom, a nurse, a wife, and many other roles that I play.

So please, take nothing seriously from here. You should probably just go read the aforementioned blogs. Enjoy!
