About my Blog!

The wonderful lady who created my new look for my blog asked me a few questions before she started and I thought it was really creative to include "me" in my blog. What do you mean? I mean she wanted to know what I liked, my favorite scripture, the title to my blog, and my picture. At first I thought of the many scriptures that hold me up and secure my walk in His Way and there are so many. However the verse I chose held me up so many times and still does. You see, I can get overwhelmed. Overwhelmed at being God's child is a good thing because that is a good overwhelm, but overwhelmed at the fact that my husband chose me, overwhelmed that he still chooses me and needs me, overwhelmed that God has given me three wonderful children to raise and overwhelmed of whether or not I'm going to mess them up terribly or not. Overwhelmed when I can't talk to my mom anymore cause she is in Heaven with Him. Overwhelmed that He has gifted me to teach others His Word and yet it is a higher calling that has stricter consequences and I feel like I'm just touching the surface when I get there! Overwhelmed at my schedule whereas most people shudder when they see my "big black book" and how filled it is and I stuff homeschooling into all that! So my scripture at the top truly leads me to Him who is higher and wiser than I could ever be and leads my heart to not be overwhelmed.


Now the title: Amazing Grace! I know that so many christians use this, but God so radically saved me that I can't help but shout out AMAZING GRACE, HOW SWEET THE SOUND! He saved me and loved me when the whole world felt like it was crumbling in around me. He saved a wretch like me that it was every bit an amazing feat! There is a song a cousin-in-law of mine sings (Matt Roberson) that says, "What can I do, but praise You, what can I do but live my life for You! Hallelujah!" I love that line in the song and I try to live my life just that way.


And the picture! Well its the only picture with me in it (my husband doesn't want to be on the blog) that I actually like. I generally don't take pictures with me in because two reasons. One I'm the only one with the camera and two, I just don't like pictures of me!



Well that about says it all. It tells my readers a little more about what I told the creative Heather as she reworked my blog and made it a masterpiece! Thank you Heather once again and thank you for allowing me to tell you all a little about myself.


Do you have amazing grace and feel overwhelmed? Go with God, He will lead the way!
