The origins

As a stay at home wife/mother with a toddler and a new born it would stand to reason that I have no time and possibly no desire to start a blog. However, with all decisions I make I try to look at the ultimate rather than the immediate. The ultimate goal of this blog is to never take away from my family - they always come first - but rather to document, for lack of better word, the trials and joys of being a stay at home wife/mother. It is also a way to connect with other women of faith, share what the Lord is doing in our home, and reflect on where we have come from and where we are going!

The majority of posts, at least within the remainder of this year, will likely center around the transition our family is approaching. Only once before did I experience the blessing of being a SAHWM and while it was short lived it was amazing! After the birth of our second son, DA, I worked from home and was able to do so for 18 months until I returned to work over a year ago. Six months in my new job, what I thought would be my 'career', I found out I was pregnant and six months into the pregnancy I was put on bedrest for the remainder of the pregnancy. A week into the bedrest I was laid off from my job. As with most upsets I am able to look back and see that His word is true - 'All things work together for the good of those who love him'! It is our hope and goal that I will be able to remain as a SAHWM. Perhaps the largest factor affecting this plan is my husbands upcoming graduation from school and his ability to land a job in his industry. I am praying and fasting for him daily - for devine connections and appointments and that the Lord would shine upon him with favor!

I never claim to be a perfect wife or mother but simply a wife and mother who has a heart for her family and home and to fulfill my highest calling - because I was created for this.
