Changes are coming....

Alot has happened since my last post. However, instead of writing about past events, I will be writing about a new adventure in my life that I am extremely excited about. I have come to the realization that my walk with Christ is not what it should be. I know I am human and because of that my priorities get out of wack, my focus turns from Christ and my actions are NOT what they should be. When I hit these road bumps I find that my ability to withstand temptation and sin is much weaker. I have decided to make a commitment to myself and to God to work harder on my relationship with Him daily. What better way then to blog about it. I always wondered what I had to share on a blog. I mean my life is NOT that interesting at all. I wondered what I had to give to the world. It has finally come to me, my expereinces as a strong believer in Christ. What better way to reach other believers who are struggling and non-believers who are searching for more or who don't even know they want more. This is going to be a real account of what it is like to live in a world so consumed with sin as a believer in Christ. The daily temptations, the daily frustrations, the days when I just want to give up, the heartbreaks, the laughter, the happiness, the tears.....hear you will read it all. I will share everything, not sugar coating, in my life. I do this in hopes it will keep me more honest and hold me more accountable to my actions. I will also share the happy and sad things that go on in my life. My niece Dawna is starting dance, so there will be plenty of cute, funny stories to share and maybe a few pictures. My nephew, Connor, starts kindergarten this year and I am saddened because even though I have 12 nieces and nephews, Connor was the first one that I felt like a real Aunt. I was finally able to spoil like an Aunt should. Then came Dawna, a perfect gift from God. That doesn't mean that I don't love all my nieces and nephews just the same. The relationships I have with them are all different, yet very precious to my heart, my soul and my life. You will also come to know all 12 of them throughout this blog. I love all of them dearly and wouldn't trade them for the world. My dream is to be a wife and a mommy. However, I feel blessed beyond measure because God has given me the job of being an Aunt to 12 beautiful, talented people. They are all so different and I have learned a lifetime of lessons from them all. I will do a post dedicated to each one and by the time you finish reading about these precious human beings whom God has blessed my life with, I hope you feel you know them as well. I will also tell you all about my parents, siblings and other family members. Even though my family gets crazy and we have drama, I love them all and wouldn't want any other family in the world. So stay tuned and please leave comments. There will be times I ask a question, or ask for feedback for a certain experience or struggle that I am facing. God Bless!!!!
