Dear sweet girls

We went to my nephew's 8th grade graduation last night (GO ZACHARY!) and I was appaled and saddened by what some of the girls were wearing. So here are my thoughts for them.

Dear Sweet Girls,

I'm so sorry that we have failed you as a society, to uphold you and recognize your strength and depth inside. My heart aches when I think of how most of you judge yourself and others on appearances. Dear, sweet girls, please know that your beauty lies within and that God has created everything beautiful including you! I know sometimes you don't feel lovely, but you are loved always! You are loved for who you are and not for how you look. If you feel insecure dear, sweet girls, ask God to show you how beautiful you are to him! He will!

School's out!

Well another school year has come and gone. My oldest nephew graduates from 8th grade tonight, and we are making preperations to begin homeschooling (pre-K) our son in the fall. Time really does go by faster when you have kids. What cool summer activities do you want to be a part of?

Simple Obsession

Sometimes I feel as though I was born in the wrong century. I am obsessed with life in the 1800's. I can't get enough "Little House on The Prairie". I admire those who traveled west in search of their dreams. Willing to put their life on the line to give their families a new beginning. I long to be part of a time when ladies were still ladies and would blush at the touch of a gentlemens' hand. When women not only enjoyed cooking and cleaning for their families but prided themselves on doing so and were not looked down upon for it. If a woman told you today that she was fulfilled with no other occupation except for motherhood she would be called uneducated and would be pitied. I take pride in the fact that my main job is to care for my family. Now don't get me wrong and say that I am against women working. I am not. God gave different women different gifts. Don't pity anyone woman who is walking the path that God laid out for her. From executives to stay at home mom's we are all important to our creator. While I still long for a simpler time I can take comfort in the fact that one day I will be in the arms of my Jesus. Where the only endings are happy ones.

Blah Blah Blog!

It has come to my attention that my blog is B-O-R-I-N-G and one dimensional. So I think I'll shake things up a bit and not only post about my writing but about all aspects of my life....after all I'm not just a writer. Don't get me wrong, writing is a BIG part of my life but I am also a wife, mother, someone who enjoys singing and who is planning to start on the Homeschooling journey this fall with my son and so much more as God leads. So stay tuned, it may get interesting!!
