My First Post

I'm not sure why I started this blog. I love reading the blogs of other women, other mothers, others who have created a well-worn path for me to follow.



But I am not like them.



Apart from having no idea how to link to other sites, I am not creative, I am not wise, and I am not humorous.



So, it may be that no one ever reads these pages, or reads them once and never comes back.



....in fact, I may not come back for long....but I have the urge to blog. To make this my journal of thoughts and trials.



Coming up with a name for my blog was difficult. It is not a very catchy name, but it is from my "life verse"



"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13



Not my favorite verse of the Bible, actually. But the one the Lord has assigned to me.



When I married my husband, we both agreed that our married life would be a roller coaster ride. (And it has been!) But, when the Lord gave me this verse, it was as if He was reminding me that the Christian life....MY Christian life....is also going to be a roller coaster ride - and that He is there with me, and that I will have to make difficult choices. And that He will be right there with me.



So, may this blog be a place where I can share my ride, and be reminded that the Lord is the one who has carved out this path for me, and I can be at peace because He strengthens me!
