Why do I blog???

A friend of mine recently asked the purpose of my blog. My reasons for blogging are many:

1. When I became a sahm, I had no clue how to parent or be a good wife. I want to share what I'm learning with other mothers and encourage them to stay the course.

2. My blog serves as a journal of what's going on in our lives. It helps me remember the fun times we've had, and helps J keep up with us when he's gone.

3. My blog is a place for me to air my thoughts and opinions. I hear opinions from people online that I've never heard before. Even when I disagree with those opinions, I'm forced to think about how I feel on the subject. I don't expect my friends who read this blog to always agree with me, but I do hope to prompt them to think.

I have several of the latter type blog entries planned for this week.

I also have an exciting project in the works which I will share more about in a month or two, so I ask you as friends to pray for me.

Let me know if you like the new format. Jess is planning to run a format tutorial on her blog, so it's something I'll be working on in the future.

Much love!
