I have looked at so many blogs in the last 4 months than I ever thought I could actually look at, and have enjoyed the layouts, the posts, everything.
I was coming to a point where I found myself saying, "oh, I wish I could do that", "oh, I wish I thought of that"... and you understand. And so the Lord really spoke to me, "do not look at what I have sent others to do, LOOK AT WHAT I HAVE SENT YOU TO DO!"
So with that said, I will no longer COVET MY NEIGHBORS BLOG! SERIOUSLY!!

After that gush of cold water thrown in my face!! I questioned: Have I been just blogging to blog? Is the Lord really involved in my blogging? Lord, what have you sent me to do?
I remember back in January (of this year) when I was encouraged by my wonderful husband to re-start this blog and to be faithful to whom ever reads it. He saw more then I saw at the time and the LORD saw more then both of us.
So recently I went before the Lord and prayed over this blog and asked Him in what direction is this blog supposed to go. I have always asked the Lord to always be the center of my life and if He is not to show me and fix it! And now so with this blog. He wants to be the center of it. Everything thing I post should always go back to glorifying Him.
What God has placed in my hands/fingers, I will do for Him and His Glory. What comes of it will be to glorify Him and encourage His children. This blog will lift the name of the Lord on High. I truly believe with all my heart that my husbands insistence was the Lord using Him to speak to me. That passion to encourage momma's, homeschooling momma's and women in general with the Word of God is what God has called me to do through this blog.

In the next few weeks, you will be seeing some changes to this blog... all good and all for HIM!
I am truly passionate about being a better me, wife and mother... this is what God has called me to do in my life right now... these are my main ministries. I want to dedicate certain pages on this blog to these areas focusing on:
