The First Post

I have a lot to be grateful for, y'all.  And though I don't generally forget that, it can often be a challenge to keep focused on the blessings when the general busyness of life (here's looking at you, to-do lists) gets so distracting.  

Philippians 4:8 says "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."

I need a space to be write down and lift up the little things about life that are dear to me, to help me keep them at the forefront of my mind, to remind me that my days aren't just about getting the next thing done, but living in the richness of each day.

I imagine this blog will evolve as I do (isn't that the stuff of life?), but for now I look forward to sharing dreams and goals (maybe it'll help keep me accountable), new and favorite recipes (Lord knows I need a place to pull those together), what I'm learning (mostly as I grow in faith and try to figure out this parenting thing), and share bits and pieces of our silly little family.
