5 years. I am so happy that I started this blog.
When I switched over to WordPress from Typepad, I thought about only bringing over the last year of posts. I decided to bring over everything. Mostly for me. There are nights I get lost looking over past vacations and smiling at how little the kids were. I laugh about my first posts – no pictures or teeny tiny pictures. But it is part of the story. It shows the journey and I like that.
This blog has been my desert story.
Hosea 2:14-15
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, Bring her into the wilderness And speak kindly to her. Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth”
Through my blog I’ve met online friends that became in real life treasures. Through other blogs I’ve been inspired to lead a quiet life and be overshadowed by His plan for me.
1 Thessalonians 4:11aÂ
…and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life.
