Journey with me

Today I am posting my first blog, on paper that is. Truth be known, I have been blogging in my mind for years, talking to a phantom audience full of people who feel like I used to feel - powerless to change anything.

At least, I hope you are there as I send this first post into cyberspace. I don't send it egotistically (thank heavens for spell check), but truly because I would hate for anyone to continue to feel like I did - worthless, ineffective, unguided, undeveloped and undiscovered.

I'm writing this blog because I wish someone had told me about the basics of life and parenting. Because they didn't the insecurities flourished. And yet, after all, I have managed to raise four amazingly productive kids who serve God and seem to love Him for real. They have turned out much wiser than I. And I've managed to write a book, WordSpeak: His Word, Your Voice, being published this spring by the WinePress Group.

I hope we will get to know one another along the way. It's not good to feel disconnected and isolated. So if you do, let me know. As for now, I will share with you in small increments, the incredible experiences I have walking with God in the business of living life. Whatever tidbits I have gathered that make life work, I will share with you. That's why I wrote the book and that's why I write this blog. This blog will serve as a personal connection to those who might be as clueless as I was.

I want to leave you with this thought: Pay attention. To yourself, your feelings, your kids, and those who matter to you. That's all for now. You'll see what I mean.

Journey with me,
